Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a high-dissolved oxygen bioreactor for high-density cultivation of genetically engineered bacteria and a cultivation control method using the reactor, belonging to the technical field of biological fermentation engineering. Background technique [0002] With the development of genetic engineering technology, more and more biological products can be produced through genetic engineering process. Among them, Escherichia coli and Pichia pastoris have been widely used in the construction of genetically engineered bacteria to obtain exogenous gene products that are useful to people. [0003] The use of genetically engineered bacteria for fermentation aims to obtain large quantities of high-quality exogenous gene products, and at the same time reduce the contamination of the host cell's own components as much as possible, so its fermentation process is different from that of traditional microorganisms. [0004] The traditional batch ...

Problems solved by technology

The ventilated stirred reactor is suitable for most aerobic fermentation processes, but there are also deficiencies. For example, in order to achieve a higher dissolved oxygen concentration and mixed mass transfer, it is necessary to increase the stirring speed and aeration volume, which will increase energy consumption and make the The overall shear stress in the tank increases, which is not conducive to the growth of shear-sensitive microorganisms, especially when the filamentous bacteria are cultured, the damage to the cells is greater

Since the gas-liquid dispersion rotor is small and placed at the bottom of the tank, during the fermentation process, the fermentation liquid in the middle and upper part of the tank is only driven by the air bubbles to carry out the overall macroscopic circulation, and its macroscopic mixing intensity is weak, which will lead to a decrease in mass transfer effect. Uneven mixing of materials

The mass transfer effect of mixing will be worse in the reaction system with higher viscosity

[0014] When the gas-liquid dispersion rotor is placed in the middle of the tank, compared with the reactor with the gas-liquid dispersion rotor placed at the bottom of the tank, its critical speed is reduced, and the suction volume at the same speed is increased, but there will be gas inclusions in the upper part of the tank. The phenomenon that the rate is greater than the gas holdup rate in the lower part of the tank, and this phenomenon is extremely unfavorable for the growth of microorganisms
