Bioreactors go electro – Bioreaktoren für Bioelektrotechnologie aufrüsten

Standardized bioreactors allowing systematic process engineering are established. The field of bioelectrotechnology, which combines the microbial or enzymatic conversion with electrical current flow, is still in its infancy. Thus, bioelectrochemical reactor systems are diverse, poorly characterized and not standardized. Here we present a reversible upgrade kit for existing bioreactor systems to perform bioelectrochemical syntheses–allowing a systematic process characterization and development.
