Abstract

See full text

An apparatus that exposes a biofilm growth surface to liquid media as it rotates. A biofilm growth substratum is wound around a rotatable body in the form of a non-rigid material capable of supporting biofilm growth. A harvester receives the biofilm laden substratum, collects the biofilm as a biomass and reloads the substratum onto the rotatable body.
