Stirred Tank Bioreactors: Design & Advantages — NEET Biology
📚 Practice ConceptBesides better aeration and mixing properties, what other advantages do stirred tank bioreactors have over shake flasks?
Which of the following statements regarding bioreactors and downstream processing are correct? S1: Bioreactors are essential for producing recombinant proteins on a large scale (100-1000 litres). S2: The primary function of a bioreactor is to provide sub-optimal conditions for maximum growth of the desired organism. S3: A stirred-tank bioreactor typically has a flat base to prevent mixing of reactor contents. S4: The agitator system, oxygen delivery system, and pH control system are standard features of a bioreactor. S5: Downstream processing involves the separation and purification of the desired product after the biosynthetic stage.
