The value of microbial bioreactors to meet challenges in the circular bioeconomy
Scientists are using specially designed containers called bioreactors to grow helpful microorganisms and mushrooms that can solve environmental and health problems. These bioreactors can produce medicines like natural diabetes treatments from mushrooms, create eco-friendly plastics, clean up polluted water, and turn waste products into valuable materials. This approach is sustainable, safe, and scalable, supporting the United Nations’ goals for a healthier planet.
