Quel que soit le type de microorganisme, le bioréacteur doit permettre un contact aussi bon que possible entre les deux phases, biotique et abiotique du système. Le bon déroulement du procédé, selon l'allure cinétique optimale, est lié aux phénomènes de transferts entre les cellules et le milieu de culture. Il s'agit tout d'abord de transferts de matière, du milieu extérieur vers la cellule pour ce qui est du substrat et des composés du milieu de culture nécessaires à la croissance cellulaire, en sens inverse pour les produits du métabolisme. Pour que les transferts puissent s'effectuer correctement, la répartition des cellules dans le milieu de culture doit être la meilleure possible. 2, record 1, French, - transfert%20de%20masse
