Question

Assertion (A): A bioreactor provides the optimal conditions for achieving the desired product by providing optimum growth conditions.

Reason (R): The most commonly used bioreactors are of stirring type.

Options

• Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

• Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

• (A) is true, but (R) is false.

• (A) is false, but (R) is true.

Answer 1

Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

Explanation:

The regulated parameters to guarantee the best possible microbial or cell development and product creation include temperature, pH, oxygen supply, and nutrition availability. Stirring-type bioreactors, also known as stirred-tank bioreactors, are popular for their effective aeration, mixing, and ability to maintain constant conditions across the culture media. Although they are frequently used, stirring bioreactors are not the only way bioreactors provide ideal conditions.
