We have developed an open source low cost hydrogen oxidising bacteria fermenter (automatic CO2-sparging turbidostat with in-situ electrolysis for H2 generation). We are building a data sharing platform that will allow researchers to share, visualise and collaborate on data from these (and in time other bioreactors) in real time. We are currently working on media optimisation for HOB fermentation and are working on environmental enrichment cultures to produce single cell protein for human consumption.
