An airlift inner-loop bioreactor packed with honeycomb-like ceramic as the carrier was developed and its capacity to immobilize microorganism was studied through adding bacteria, Achromobacter sp., capable of degrading 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP), directly to the reactor under continuous operation. Effects of phenol in the feed with 2,4-DCP on 2,4-DCP removal were investigated under fed-batch ...

Citric acid production is generally carried out in an aqueous medium stirred tank reactors (STR), where the solubility of oxygen low and demand microbial cultures high. Thus, for this bioprocess, providing adequate mass transfer rate (OTR) from gas phase into culture main challenge bioreactor selection operation. In study, citric by Yarrowia lipolytica W29 crude glycerol, batch cultures, was pe...

During the optimization of environmental biotechnology processes, it is important to count on proper and reliable information about kinetic stoichiometric parameters microorganisms. In this work, biological sulfide oxidation process was assessed under two novel dynamic pulse respirometric approaches: in-situ respirometry conducted in airlift bioreactor ex-situ carried out microreactors (microre...

In this study, large-scale production of microalgal lipid containing high levels of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) by fermentation of Aurantiochytrium sp. KRS101 was performed. The microalgal strain yielded productivity of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) productivity of 1.08 and 1.6 g/L/d by fermentation at 300-L and 5000-L scale stirrer-type bioreactor. The productivity was significantly enhanced upto ...

since treatment of landfill leachate is quite complicated, there is a need to develop a system thatis capable of providing high treatment efficiencies. in this study, the treatment performance of a jet - loopmembrane bioreactor (jlmb) operated at different organic loading rates was investigated by observing thechanges in chemical oxygen demand (cod), total kjehldahl nitrogen (tkn) and total amm...

Hairy roots of Astragalus membranaceus were grown in bioreactors up to 30 l for 20 d. Cultures from a 30 l airlift bioreactor gave 11.5 g l dry wt with 1.4 mg g−1 astragaloside IV, similar to cultures from 250 ml and 1 l flasks, but greater than yields from a 10 l bioreactor (dry wt 9.4 g l−1, astragaloside IV 0.9 mg g−1). Polysaccharide yields were similar amongst the different bioreactors (ra...
