Abstract: A bioreactor is disclosed. The bioreactor comprises at least one rise chamber containing a growth medium and at least one fall chamber connected to the at least one rise chamber at a top and at a bottom to form a loop. A first gas inlet is connected to the at least one rise chamber for supplying a gas flow to the at least one rise chamber and a second gas inlet supplied gas enriched with carbon dioxide.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for cultivating plant or animal tissue. The inventive device comprises a fermenter container, a supply device for liquid nutrients and gases, devices for discharging used nutritive liquids and gases and solid carrier plates for the plant tissues which are permeable to said liquid nutrients and gases and are arranged within the fermenter container in a stationary manner. According to the invention, the fermenter container comprises a dimensionally stable lid component that carries the various supply and discharge lines as well as the carrier for the cells and comprises a pot- or bag-shaped plastic hose. The opening of said hose is sealed against the lid and is fixed.
