Innovative bioreactors.
Recent papers have described new bioreactor designs. Most innovations addressed either oxygen transfer, shear induced by stirring, control of water activity in organic phase systems or waste biotreatment. Innovations made during the past year were reported in mainly three areas: bioreactor designs for increases in oxygen transfer and decreases in shear stress; bioreactors for two-phase reactions with water activity control; and environmental bioreactors.
