Answer
Processing of large volumes of culture
Explanation
Solution
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.
