Question:
Bioreactors are useful in
Bioreactors are useful in
Updated On: Jun 6, 2022
- Separation and purification of a product
- Processing of large volumes of culture
- Micro-injection
- Isolation of genetic material
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
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.

Biotechnology
Biotechnology is a vast field of biology that involves the creation, production, and modification of useful products for human welfare using both the technology and the execution of living organisms and their components. An agricultural engineer, Karoly Ereky, coined the word "biotechnology" in 1919, achieving him the title of "Father of Biotechnology."
Principles of Biotechnology:
Among many, the two core techniques that entitled the birth of modern biotechnology are :
- Genetic Engineering is one of the methods of direct modifications of an organism's genome (i.e., DNA and RNA). It requires the introduction of new genes into host species to escalate function or trait, hence altering the host organism's phenotype.
- Bioprocess Engineering is one of the methods of maintaining sterile conditions to facilitate the growth of large quantities of desired microbes and other eukaryotic cells for the development of new or modified biotechnological products such as enzymes, vaccines, antibiotics, and other biotechnological products.
