The rate of parameters such as nutrient inflow and waste outflow can be tuned to control the rate, and phase, of culture growth. The chemostat array above is used to grow the green algae Tetradesmus obliquus. (University Of Basel, Department of Environmental Sciences, 2026. source) 1. What you would like to biomanufacture, and why? A large portion of manufacturing techniques may be described by three categories: formative, additive and subtractive. Formative manufacturing revolves around the production of an object by guiding its elementary material into a specified mould: injection moulding and casting are two such examples. Additive techniques ‘build’ a product through a series of procedural layers (3D printing). Conversely, subtractive techniques remove material from a ‘blank’ section of stock, whether that be a 3m^2 tungsten cube or a banana, to reach a desired form. Each of these approaches share similar design and circularity limitations, and must often be used in conjunction to achieve a desirable outcome.Hugoen
