ABSTRACT
In this paper, a minibioreactor platform made of low cost polymers
is presented. The minibioreactor prototype was designed as an alternative
solution for carrying out microbial fermentation experiments in laboratory. The
minibioreactor prototype has a working volume of 1.5 mL and was fabricated from poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA)
and poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) polymers. Cell density
was measured online whilst agitation rates and the temperature of the reactor
content can be tightly controlled to desired set-point values. As
proof-of-concept, various S.
cerevisae fermentation experiments were conducted. In every experiment, the
minibioreactor operated stably for the entire length of operation which was
nearly 40 h with very minimal volume loss i.e. about 2.8 μL·h-1 at
37ºC. The minibioreactor has the maximum oxygen transfer rate (OTR)
of 16.6 mmol·L-1·h-1 under the agitation rate of 300
rpm. Under these conditions, cell specific growth rate as high as 0.291 h-1 was
obtained. The experimental data in the minibioreactor operation was also
reproducible using shake flask where similar growth profiles were attained
under a similar growth conditions.

ABSTRAK
Dalam kertas ini, minibioreaktor yang dihasilkan
daripada polimer berkos rendah telah dibincangkan. Prototip minibioreaktor ini
direka bentuk sebagai alternatif dalam menjalankan eksperimen fermentasi
di dalam makmal. Prototip minibioreaktor ini mempunyai isi
padu kerja sebanyak 1.5 mL dan difabrikasi daripada polimer poli(metilmetakrilat)
(PMMA)
dan poli(dimetilsiloksana) (PDMS). Ketumpatan sel diukur secara
dalam talian sementara kadar pengadukan
dan suhu kandungan reaktor boleh dikawal pada nilai yang ditentukan.
Untuk membuktikan konsep, beberapa eksperimen fermentasi S. cerevisae telah dijalankan. Pada setiap eksperimen,
minibioreaktor beroperasi secara stabil selama eksperimen berlangsung
hampir 40 jam dengan kehilangan isi padu yang minimum iaitu sebanyak
2.8 μL·h-1 pada 37ºC. Minibioreaktor
ini mempunyai kadar pemindahan oksigen maksimum 16.6 mmol·L-1·h-1
pada kadar pengadukan 300 rpm.
Pada keadaan ini, kadar pertumbuhan sel khusus setinggi 0.291 h-1
diperoleh. Data eksperimen dalam operasi minibioreaktor
juga boleh diperoleh menggunakan kelalang goncang dengan profil
pertumbuhan yang sama dicapai pada keadaan
pertumbuhan yang serupa.
