APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING PLASMID-CONTAINING HYDROCARBON-OXIDISING MICROORGANISMS Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC C12M1/00 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: apparatus has a vessel for culturing microorganisms with a temperature maintenance unit, a device for feeding culture medium and inoculum into the vessel and removing the end product, an electronic control unit connected to the temperature maintenance unit of the vessel for culturing microorganisms and a system for concentrating a cell suspension, which is connected to the output of the vessel for culturing microorganisms. The vessel is equipped with an air sampler which is connected to a carbon dioxide gas sensor, an a liquid sampler which is respectively connected to sensors for optical density and counting suspension cells, wherein outputs of all sensors and the temperature maintenance unit are connected to a computer through a controller.

EFFECT: high accuracy of controlling production of biomass of hydrocarbon-oxidising microorganisms in the required growth phase in form of a concentrated cell suspension.
