SEGMENTED FLOW BIOFILM REACTOR

摘要

A segmented flow biofilm reactor is provided which comprises at least one capillary member, at least one reservoir for a liquid phase, and at least one reservoir for a gaseous phase, wherein the at least one reservoir for the liquid phase, and the at least one reservoir for the gaseous phase are in fluid connection with the at least one capillary member. In addition, a method for converting a substrate to a product using a biofilm as biocatalyst within at least one capillary member is provided, wherein at least one liquid phase and a gaseous phase are flowing through the at least one capillary member bearing the biofilm biocatalyst in a segmented fashion.
