Biomass productivities in shake flasks are often not achievable in bioreactors for plant cell cultures. Considering shake flask biomass productivity as a benchmark, this study employs shake flask geometries as a model system to investigate hydrodynam

Microbes are essential in achieving the UN's Sustainability Development Goals and for a greener future, better world and healthier society.

Cultivation of plant cell cultures in conventional bioreactors designed for microbial cells often results in decrease of biomass productivity as compared to that in shake flasks, presumably due to the imbalance between the mass transfer requirements

Vidya reflects for the Engaging Scientist on her journey and explains how she got from curiosity to an aspiration in science communication.
