Patent ID: 7682823

Claim:
A bioreactor system, comprising: at least one flexible container adapted to flexibly contain at least one fluid and containing a soluble container that includes therein at least one microbe in a substantially dry inert state; at least one fluid input that provides fluid communication with said at least one flexible container and is adapted to input fluid into said at least one flexible container, said soluble container soluble within a first input fluid; at least one fluid output that provides fluid communication with said at least one flexible container and is adapted to output fluid from said at least one flexible container; at least one gas input that provides fluid communication with said at least one flexible container and is adapted to input at least one gas into said at least one flexible container and create bubbles in said at least one fluid; at least one gas output that provides fluid communication with said at least one flexible container and is adapted to output said at least one gas from said at least one flexible container; an enclosure including therein at least said at least one flexible container; and a temperature regulator that regulates temperature within said enclosure, wherein said at least one flexible container comprises a plurality of said flexible containers that are not capable of motion with respect to one another or with respect to said enclosure.
