He also says that the C1 cell production platform is faster and more productive than more traditional systems. This enables one 2,000-L bioreactor to do the work of a 15,000-L bioreactor.

Fungal contamination in water systems has emerged as a significant concern for public health and water quality management. Fungal spores, ubiquitous in both surface and groundwater, can germinate ...
