摘要

An apparatus for cultivating microorganisms contains a housing (1), an inlet connector (3) for introducing nutrient medium and the inoculum, an outlet connector (4) for discharging the finished product, an aerator (2), and a mixing device (5) which has at least one pair of paddle mixers (8 and 9). The paddles (10) of each mixer (8 and 9) in the mixing device (5) are designed with an angle of inclination of 5@ to 30@ to the horizontal, and the direction of inclination of the paddles (10) of the upper mixer (8) in the pair is opposite to the direction of inclination of the paddles (10) of the lower mixer (9). <IMAGE>
