Microbes Power Sustainable Bioreactors, Revolutionizing Compound Extraction.
The scientists designed a special bioreactor that uses pressure made by tiny organisms to separate helpful substances from the food they live on. They also built and tested a modular system that combines membranes in the bioreactor. The main idea is to harness the pressure created by these microorganisms during their growth to help extract valuable bits and pieces from the liquid they live in.
