Question

Bioreactors are useful in

• A. Separation and purification of a product
• B. Processing of large volumes of culture
• C. Micro-injection
• D. Isolation of genetic material
• E. Amplification of genes

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Processing of large volumes of culture

• 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.

So, the correct option is option B.
