Solution:
Bioreactors are large culture vessels in which raw materials are biologically converted into specific products, using microbial, plant, animal or human cells or their enzymes. A bioreactor provides the optimal condition for achieving the desired product by providing optimum growth conditions (temperature, pH, substrate, salts, vitamins, oxygen, etc.) and helps in processing large volumes (100-1000 litres) of culture.
