Better and more even growth of microorganisms.
About
Bioreactors are used for light sensitive biological processes such as growing of algae that can be used in manufacturing processes such as the production of biological material. The efficiency of those processes depends on the light intensity and wavelengths of the light used. Traditional systems involve large-scale apparatus that are lit by external light sources — which can result in non homogenous light distribution that can result in uneven growth of microorganisms and reduction in the efficiency of production. This invention describes a self-contained bioreactor that is compact and which has an internal light distribution that allows for better and more even growth of microorganisms due to a better light distribution system and hence leads to a more efficient manufacturing process. Patent applications are pending.
