[Technological analysis of oxygenation of space bioreactor [correction of bioreacror]].
It is a difficult process to oxygenate the bioreactor. The microgravity environment brings more problems to this process. For example, gas bubbles will not rise through the fermentation media because of absence of buoyancy forces, so typical bioreactor on earth will not operate under microgravity. In this paper, the problem and possible solutions are discussed theoretically.
