Scientists discuss in 'Coenzyme Q10 production by Rhodobacter sphaeroides in stirred tank and in airlift bioreactor' new findings in life sciences. According to recent research published in the journal Bioprocess and Biosystems Engineering, "A higher Coenzyme Q(10) (CoQ(10)) concentration of 25.04 mg/l was found in airlift bioreactor than the value of 18.11 mg/l obtained in stirred tank under the aerobic-dark cultivation of Rhodobacter sphaeroides. Aeration rate didn't show obvious impact to CoQ(10) production in airlift bioreactor."
"The fed-batch operation in airlift bioreactor could increase the biomass concentration and led to the maximum CoQ(10) ...
