The electroPioreactor is a Pioreactor adapted to incorporate electrolysis and CO2 sparging. The main motivation is to facilitate affordable, safe, local production of Hydrogen Oxidising Bacteria (HOB) as a sustainable alternative protein.
Our parametric Vial Cap design and bill of materials are detailed in Components.
This repo also contains summary outputs of past research projects including Harvey Mudd's anode and valve optimisation work and Brown's CO2 sparger backflow solution.
A current focus is development and testing of an Aseptic electroPioreactor to facilitate research on monocultures. Imperial College and Edinburgh University are leading this work under CARMA Hub Pump Priming funding.
This repo is synchronised both via GitHub and via Radicle we would encourage you to try Radicle.xyz.
