METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CARRYING OUT CELL CULTURE

摘要

A method and an apparatus for carrying out cell culture or fermentation by
maintaining a cell or immobilizing cell population in a growth media at a desired incubation temperature;
providing a gentle stream of oxygen containing gas moving upwardly and centrally through said growth medium so as to carry said cells or immobilized cells upward and whereby medium from the upper portion of the growth media moves downward to replace the displaced medium thereby obtaining good mixing with gentle aeration which maintains the cells or immobilized cells in suspension; and dissolved oxygen concentration in the medium to support cell growth.
