This work describes the characterisation and culture performance of a novel, orbitally shaken, single-use photobioreactor (SUPBr) system for microalgae cultivation. The SUPBr mounted on an orbitally shaken platform was illuminated from below. Investigation of fluid hydrodynamics indicated a range of different flow regimes and the existence of 'in-phase' and 'out-of-phase' conditions. Quantifica...

Packed bed cultivation systems have potential for widespread application in solid-state cultivation (SSC), but they are poorly characterized. The effects of particle size and substrate loading on the growth of Rhizopus oligosporus on sago-beads in packed bed bioreactors were investigated. Pressure drop and protein were monitored as indicators of fungal growth in cultivations performed in a larg...

Black fungus, with high nutritional and medicinal value, has been cultivated in China for a long time, Heilongjiang alone accounts about 40% of the global output. At present, cultivation black fungus derives mainly from inheritance relatively primitive practices experience farmers, resulting inconsistent quality fungus. In this study, smart control system precision was designed by using intelli...
