Shear Sensitivity

Abstract: Susceptibility to hydrodynamic and mechanical shear forces affects performance of cultured cells of animals, plants, microalgae, and cyanobacteria. In addition, hydromechanical forces affect or otherwise damage some commercially relevant mycelial fungi, filamentous bacteria, microbial flocs, and biofilms. In specific cases, intense shear fields may also damage the larger bioactive molecules such as enzymes. This article details the shear sensitivity of the major types of biocatalysts and the approaches availab… Show more

“…This is because microalgae are often far more sensitive to turbulence than other microorganisms that are commonly grown in commercial stirred bioreactors. 43 An agitation speed of 300 rpm in a dual impeller bioreactor with a working volume of 2-L of a water-like algal culture, as in the present work, equates to a high level of turbulence. Hydrodynamic forces are known to affect Chlorella vulgaris 44,45 and possibly other members of this genus.…”

“…The hydrodynamic shear force imposed through the aeration rate of the reactor system will control the development of biogranules (Chisti, 1999). The size of biogranules is the net result of the balance between the growth and the hydrodynamic shear force imposed by superficial air velocity .…”

“…In addition to microfluidic channels, there were other tools, especially viscometers, that had been used for hydrodynamic sensitivity studies. These studies have been reviewed previously (Chalmers, 2000;Chisti, 1999Chisti, , 2000Joshi et al, 1996;Ma et al, 2006;Varley and Birch, 1999).…”
