Design of Bioreactor and Growth of Bacteria for Water Treatment Application

Project Type: Self-Initiated

Project Description

Bioreactors provide the necessary controlled environment for cultivating microorganisms, which are used in various industrial fields. They are of importance as they ensure that the physical, chemical, and biological conditions required for microbial growth are consistently maintained. In this project, the focus is to develop a stirred-tank bioreactor designed for microbial growth and specifically Pseudomonas aeruginosa as a proof of concept. This kind of bacteria is known for its efficiency in degradation of PAH and has significant potential ahead.
