A Review on Bioreactor Technology Assisted Plant Suspension Culture

Abstract

This review is related to bioreactors for plant suspension culture and its products. Bioreactor plays an important role in bioprocess engineering. The core of bioprocessing technology is the bioreactor. A bioreactor is basically a device in which the organisms are cultivated and helps in production of desired products in a contained environment. Bioreactors are usually a containment which provides optimal condition for microorganisms in order to produce desired products. In this review, the bioreactor’s principle, working and its types are discussed. Enclosed by unit operations that carry out physical changes for medium preparation and recovery of products, the reactor is where the major chemical and biochemical transformations occur. In many bioprocess, characteristic of the reaction determined to a large extent the economic feasibility of the project. The integration of biosynthesis and separation is considered as a possible approach towards more efficient plant cell and tissue culture. In this review article, the aspects of bioprocess engineering for plant suspension culture and its products, bioreactor types, optimized strategies for production of secondary metabolites also and its industrial applications.
