A microorganism growth apparatus comprises in combination: a) a plurality of vertical elongated transparent flexible cells (5 and 6), capable of containing a biomass; b) vertical support means to support the said plurality of cells in close juxtaposition to one another, and in vertical position; c) at least one gas inlet (7) and one gas outlet, to permit the bubbling of nutrient or other gas through the biomass and the ventilation of each cell; d) at least one inlet (10) and/or outlet to permit feeding of nutrient solution to the biomass and harvesting of the biomass from each cell; and e) common conveying means (9) connected to each of the said outlets, to receive and convey biomass harvested from the said plurality (14) of cells (5, 6 and 11), all or part of them, away from the growth apparatus. <IMAGE> |
