Abstract
A one-time use or repeated use self-contained biofilm-biomat reactor comprising a container with at least one compartment and placed within the compartment(s), a feedstock, a fungal inoculum, a gas-permeable membrane, and optionally a liquid nutrient medium is provided.
Claims27
A method of producing a filamentous fungal biomass, comprising:
- placing a liquid feedstock in a container;
- inoculating the liquid feedstock with a fungal inoculum;
- placing a porous membrane in the container;
- and
- incubating the liquid feedstock and fungal inoculum in the container to form a filamentous fungal biomass on the porous membrane, wherein the filamentous fungal biomass grows attached to the membrane, facing the body of the liquid feedstock.
2 more elements
A reactor for producing fungal mycelia, comprising:
- a tray;
- a liquid feedstock;
- a membrane having pores;
- and
- a fungal inoculum;
- wherein the tray contains the membrane and the liquid feedstock inoculated with the fungal inoculum, and wherein the fungal mycelia grow attached to the membrane, facing the body of the liquid feedstock.
