Phototrophic cultivation of Chlorella vulgaris in the BioLector XT microbioreactor

15 Nov 2022

In this application note, Beckman Coulter Life Sciences presents phototrophic cultivation of Chlorella vulgaris in the BioLecter XT microbioreactor. Here, the BioLector XT microbioreactor was equipped with a sophisticated illumination module to enable parallel, phototrophic cultivations in up to 48 microwells, and specialized filter modules were designed to allow for the online, non-invasive measurement of important cultivation parameters like biomass, chlorophyll concentration and pH.

MicrobiologyMicrobiology is the study of microorganisms including protists, prokaryotes, fungi, and, often, viruses. Microorganisms are a useful research tool as genetic vectors and, in immunology, for antibiotic susceptibility testing, cellular biology and genetics. Microorganisms commonly grow readily in incubators with microbial culture media; this can contain chromogenic supplements to differentiate between cell lines. Estimate your culture’s density of microorganisms with colony counters, or screen and select colonies for desirable clones with automated colony pickers. Additionally, equipment is available to monitor environments for the presence of microbes and identify with microbial identification instruments.

Biological materials used include cells, enzymes and organisms. Usually bioprocessing requires a batch or continuous bioreactor such as a fermentor or cell culture system. The advantages of using a reactor include high productivity, easy configuration, adjustable values and automation.AlgaeBioprocessingBioprocessing is the use of biological systems for the conversion of raw materials to desired products. This includes the research, development and manufacturing stages of production and can refer to food processing, small-molecule pharmaceutical manufacture, production of recombinant protein therapeutics, or the generation of renewable energy.BiofuelBacteriaBacteria are microorganisms that play critical roles in the environment, human health, and biotechnology. Understanding bacterial genetics, growth, and metabolism is essential for developing antibiotics, vaccines, and improving industrial processes.
