A bioreactor is a closed system designed to support the growth of cells or microorganisms (such as bacteria, yeast, or animal cells) by maintaining optimal conditions like temperature, pH, oxygen, and agitation. It’s commonly used in pharmaceutical, biotech, and biofuel industries to produce high-value products like vaccines, therapeutic proteins, enzymes, and bio-based chemicals.
A fermenter is a type of bioreactor primarily used for microbial fermentation – the process where microorganisms convert substrates (like sugars) into desired products such as alcohol, organic acids, antibiotics, and food products. Fermenters are widely used in the food & beverage, dairy, and biotechnology sectors.
