Bioreactor
It's a device that allows an evironment with controled conditions (e.g temperature and pH) to optimize a culture growth. Nevertheless, andean communities affected by frosts have also a limited access to electricity and to specialized spaces that are needed to have a continous production of the desired antifreeze protein.
We propose the development of a bioreactor with minimum requirements for a controlled production and a prioritized use of renewable energies for its functioning.
What is it?
OBJECTIVES
-
To elaborate a low-cost bioreactor which allows enough antifreeze protein production in order to be applied to crops to protect them from dying of frost.
-
Make the final design to be easy to use and assemble by a farmer in a community of limited resources.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
-
To the UNMSM group, for providing the proposal of the design.
-
To Gerson and Nadir that started the development of this division.
