TEMPORARY BUBBLE IMMERSION BIOREACTOR
TEMPORARY BUBBLE IMMERSION BIOREACTOR
TE-BIB
Used for tissue culture where the nutrient medium that is located at the bottom of the container and receives a source of air causing bubbles from this solution to migrate to the suspended levels which contain the material to be propagated.

- Increases root and foliar biomass productivity compared to traditional methods
- Decreases production costs when compared to traditional systems such as cultivation in glass flasks
- The compartmentalized model of the bioreactor coherently describes the hydrodynamics of the system
- In the case of eucalyptus it may result in a lower occurrence of 'vitrification' of the plants
- The bubble immersion bioreactor (B.I.B.®) developed and patented by Soccol et al. (2008) is a viable and effective alternative in the production of seedlings and secondary metabolites being able to work with several stages considerably increasing its production capacity
- As the plant does not remain submerged some side effects are reduced when compared to the temporary immersion method another advantage is the optimization of the use of the culture medium
- Vitrification: According to Ziv (1991) vitrification is a common event in tissue culture generating physiological and morphological abnormalities in plant tissue. These disorders occur mainly in leaves affecting the two main processes: photosynthesis and gas exchange (CO2 H2O and steam).
