Cultivation of shear stress sensitive microorganisms in disposable bag reactor systems.

Highlights: [•] Cultivation of shear stress sensitive E. ramulus and two basidiomycetes in a wave reactor. Comparison of the cultivations to STR cultivations. [•] Even cultivations that depend on strict anaerobic conditions were performed successfully in batch and fed-batch mode in the wave system. [•] Huge impact on morphology and resulting enzymatic activity was observed in the fungal cultures when comparing wave reactor and STR cultivations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
