Question

Clumping of cells leads to lesser availability of nutrients and oxygen to the cells in the bioreactor.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Clumping of cells happens when the broth inside the bioreactor has been allowed to settle for a while. All the heavy constituents like particulate nutrients and the cells themselves will settle at the bottom and form clumps. This obstructs all the cells from receiving nutrients and oxygen evenly.
