Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide novel, low-cost fermentation systems and methods of their use. More specifically, the present invention provides biological reactor systems for fermenting a wide variety of, for example, bio level 1 microorganisms with very high cell densities. The reactor systems can be used to grow yeast, fungi and bacteria, as well as growth by-products thereof. In specific embodiments, the reactor systems are used to produce yeast-based compositions. In certain specific embodiments, the reactor systems can be used for the production of Starmerella bombicola yeast compositions.
