Abstract

A method of culturing microorganisms in a bioreaction system comprising providing at least one substantially liquid impermeable flexible elongate tubular envelope having an inlet and an outlet. The outlet is spaced downstream from the inlet. The envelope comprises a longitudinally extending flowbed and a longitudinally extending roof connected to the flowbed. A gaseous atmosphere is provided between the flowbed and the roof of the envelope. Culture medium is introduced to the flowbed and allowed to flow along the flowbed from upstream to downstream.
