摘要
<jats:sec><jats:label /><jats:p>In recent years, microbioreactor (MBR) systems have evolved towards versatile bioprocess engineering tools. They provide a unique solution to combine higher experimental throughput with extensive bioprocess monitoring and control, which is indispensable to develop economically and ecologically competitive bioproduction processes. MBR systems are based either on down‐scaled stirred tank reactors or on advanced shaken microtiter plate cultivation devices. Importantly, MBR systems make use of optical measurements for non‐invasive, online monitoring of important process variables like biomass concentration, dissolved oxygen, pH, and fluorescence. The application range of MBR systems can be further increased by integration into liquid handling robots, enabling automatization and, thus standardization, of various handling and operation procedures. Finally, the tight integration of quantitative strain phenotyping with bioprocess development under industrially relevant conditions greatly increases the probability of finding the right combination of producer strain and bioprocess control strategy. This review will discuss the current state of the art in the field of MBR systems and we can readily conclude that their importance for industrial biotechnology will further increase in the near future.</jats:p></jats:sec>
