Abstract
Traditionalists are reluctant to leave the technology they and their forefathers knew. To them the new technology based on the stirred tank bioreactor is too removed from the soil the mushroom comes from. On the other hand, there are examples of applications of a bioreactor which support the change from the old to the new technology. In this chapter Bjarmin Rushton, the creator of the well-known medicinal mushroom company Wellness, gives his view of the much talked about difficulties with cultivation in stirred tanks. These problems, are they real or figment of our imagination? Those who read will find out.
期刊介绍:
Advances in Biochemical Engineering/Biotechnology reviews actual trends in modern biotechnology. Its aim is to cover all aspects of this interdisciplinary technology where knowledge, methods and expertise are required for chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, genetics, chemical engineering and computer science. Special volumes are dedicated to selected topics which focus on new biotechnological products and new processes for their synthesis and purification. They give the state-of-the-art of a topic in a comprehensive way thus being a valuable source for the next 3 - 5 years. It also discusses new discoveries and applications.
