Abstract

Bioconversion processes utilize a biocatalyst (microorganism, enzyme, or other active fraction) to enhance the conversion of a feed material or substrate to a useful product in a controlled environment. It is particularly desirable for such a system to have high volumetric productivity with maximum concentration and yield of the product. Continuous operation with good process control is also desirable. At least two subcomponents need to be considered: the production of the bioreagent and the bioconversion reactor itself.
