Abstract
Culture systems and methods of using same. The systems include a housing defining an inner space. The inner space includes a headspace and at least a portion of a reservoir. A surface for immobilizing cells is moveable between the headspace and the reservoir. The systems can be used for coculturing methanotrophs and phototrophs for processing biogas and wastewater, particularly from anaerobic digesters.

- cells adhered to the surface portion;
- a liquid in the inner space at least intermittently in contact with the cells;
- and
- a gas in the inner space at least intermittently in contact with the cells.
