Question

Bioreactors are useful in

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

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Processing of large volumes of culture

• Bioreactors are used at the industrial level where culture is required to perform at a large scale.
• Small volume cultures cannot give large quantities of the products. For this purpose bioreactors with large volumes (100−1000 litres) of culture are to be used.
• Hence bioreactors are like vessels in which raw materials are biologically converted into specific products, individual enzymes or using microbial, plant, animal, or human cells.

So the correct answer is option C.
