bioreactors

Examples of bioreactors in the following topics:

• Tissue Engineering

  • A bioreactor in tissue engineering, as opposed to industrial bioreactors, is a device that attempts to simulate a physiological environment in order to promote cell or tissue growth in vivo.

• Genomics and Biofuels

  • For instance, the hindgut contents of nature's own bioreactor, the termite, has yielded more than 500 genes related to the enzymatic deconstruction of cellulose and hemicellulose .

• Mammalian Proteins and Products

  • These proteins are made in large quantities by genetically engineered bacteria or yeast in large "bioreactors. " Some drugs are also made in transgenic plants, such as tobacco.

• Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons

  • Some examples of bioremediation related technologies are phytoremediation, bioventing, bioleaching, landfarming, bioreactor, composting, bioaugmentation, rhizofiltration, and biostimulation.
