A kind of continuous culture reactor in which the growth rate is controlled by concentration of a medium component (substrate). Typically, the flow rate of fresh medium is set and growth is limited by depletion of a nutrient.
A device that allows the continuous growth of a bacterial population on a growth-rate-limiting resource. The resource flows into the chemostat at a constant rate; depleted medium and cells are washed out at the same rate. The population grows and consumes the resource until the bacteria reach an equilibrium density at which their growth rate equals the flow rate through the vessel.
constant volume continuous cultivation with fixed flow rate; dilution rate = F/V
Chemostat Microbial reactor (fermentor) for continuous culture, in which the flow rate (nutrient in, culture out) is adjusted to control the cell concentration.
Device for maintaining a bacterial population in the exponential growth phase by controlling nutrient input and cell removal.
a continuous culture device that maintains a constant growth rate by supplying a medium containing a limited amount of an essential nutrient at a fixed rate and by removing medium that contains microorganisms at the same rate B
a device that allows the propagation of microorganisms in an extremely constant environment
growth chamber that maintains a bacterial culture at a particular growth rate by continually adding fresh nutrient medium while removing spent culture.
Growth chamber that keeps a bacterial culture at a specific volume and rate of growth by continually adding fresh nutrient medium while removing spent culture.
an apparatus designed to grow bacteria indefinitely, while keeping the conditions and the colony size constant by having a continuous flow of liquid nutrient wash the colony and steadily remove bacteria.
Continuous culture system
A chemostat (from Chemical environment is static) is a device used in microbiology for growing and harvesting bacteria. It consists of two primary parts: a nutrient reservoir and a growth chamber. The volume of growth medium for the bacteria is kept constant in order to run a controlled experiment with a known and well defined population dynamic.
