Question

A simple stirred tank bioreactor has all of the following properties, except (A) It is usually cylindrical or with a curved base to facilitate the mixing of the reactor contents (B) The stirrer facilitates even mixing and oxygen availability throughout the bioreactor (C) Foam control system is present (D) Sterile air bubbles are sparged into the simple stirred tank bioreactor

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Sterile air bubbles are sparged and mixed in sparged stirred-tank bioreactor, which increases the surface area for oxygen transfer. Sparger is not found in the simple stirred tank bioreactor.
