It is a difficult process to oxygenate the bioreactor. The microgravity environment brings more problems to this process. For example, gas bubbles will not rise through the fermentation media because of absence of buoyancy forces, so typical bioreactor on earth will not operate under microgravity. In this paper, the problem and possible solutions are discussed theoretically.
给生物反应器充氧是一个困难的过程。微重力环境给这个过程带来了更多问题。例如,由于缺乏浮力,气泡不会在发酵培养基中上升,所以地球上典型的生物反应器在微重力环境下无法运行。本文从理论上讨论了该问题及可能的解决方案。
