GASEOUS-PHASE CULTURE APPARATUS

摘要

PURPOSE:To provide a gaseous-phase rotary culture apparatus which does not require a strong rotary driving mechanism. CONSTITUTION:A culture chamber 70 is formed by dividing a mesh cylinder 62 into four sections along the circumferential direction. The cylinder 62 placed in a vessel 12 is rotated with a shaft 52. The culture material in the culture chamber 70 is supplied with nutrient by immersing in a liquid medium L and with oxygen in gaseous phase according to the rotation of the cylinder. The motor 58 is not necessarily a strong motor because a cylindrical member 62 is rotated. The freedom of the attaching positions of various pipings and sensors is increased since the vessel 12 itself is fixed.
