摘要： Bioreactors and methods for growing a chemoautotrophic culture of a microorganism, such as a hydrogen-oxidizing or carbon monoxide-oxidizing microorganism, are provided. The bioreactors and methods provide for enhanced growth and productivity of microorganisms that use gaseous sources of carbon and energy and provide an environment for carbon fixing to produce organic molecules of interest and/or biomass. The present bioreactors and methods achieve enhanced growth with respect to cell density, culture duration and/or growth rate, while maintaining safe operating conditions.
