Continuous fermentations in miniaturized stirred-tank reactors

Andreas Schmideder, Doctoral Thesis Technische Universität München, 2016

Miniaturized bioreactors enable efficient bioprocess development. Substrate supply via gas phase and continuous process control were implemented to realize the continuous operation of stirred-tank bioreactors and novel enzyme-membrane-reactors in parallel. Thereby, kinetic models of microbial reactions could be identified in a timesaving manner. Biological processes could be redesigned efficiently and scale-up from the 10 milliliter to the 1000 liter scale was successfully demonstrated.
