Abstract :

The use of pressure as a parameter to manipulate the growth and production of cell cultures has recently begun to be thoroughly investigated. The variability of effects on different cell types and species indicates that there is much more to learn about the use of elevated pressures (up to 10 bar) within bioreactors and how to best utilize this asset. During this talk, we will explore the current state of research on the applications of elevated pressures to bacterial cultures with specific consideration to its use in the culturing of hydrogen-oxidizing bacteria.
