Abstract

The invention relates to a bioreactor for cultivating phototrophic organisms in an aqueous culture medium, the reactor parts that come into contact with the culture medium being entirely or partially produced from silicone materials. The invention is characterized in that the silicone materials are produced from addition-crosslinked silicones, and the surface of the silicone materials has a contact angle to the water of at least 100°.
