Abstract
Hairy roots of strawberry were cultivated in three different types of bioreactors: an air-sparged bioreactor (control), a droplet bioreactor and a mist bioreactor. The highest biomass yields (3.7 g dry wt/l) we re achieved in the air-sparged and in the mist bioreactor. In the drop let bioreactor the cultivation medium was insufficiently atomized into droplets and nutrient uptake and growth were slower due to uneven wet ting of hairy roots.
