REPLACER participates at Long Night of Science
The team, led by coordinator Dr. Rohan Karande, presented their project to visitors, using column bioreactors to demonstrate how microbial biomass can be produced from carbon dioxide and methane as a value-added animal feed product.
Capillary biofilm reactors
Capillary biofilm reactors (CBRs) are attractive for growing photoautotrophic bacteria as they allow high cell-density cultivation. Here, we evaluated the CBR system’s suitability to grow an artificial consortium composed of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 and Pseudomonas sp. VBL120.
