Abstract
A cell-recycled air-lift bioreactor was studied for its performance in cultivation of Mentha piperita cells producing essential oils. The re actor system sustained a stable operation over 30 days with the aid of a cell settler. The maximum cell concentration reached 50% packed cel l volume and it occurred at the dilution rate of 0.27 day(-1). Volumet ric productivity of essential oils in this system was substantially hi gher than that obtainable from batch culture.
