Moss bioreactor information


A moss bioreactor with Physcomitrella patens

A moss bioreactor is a photobioreactor used for the cultivation and propagation of mosses. It is usually used in molecular farming for the production of recombinant protein using transgenic moss. In environmental science moss bioreactors are used to multiply peat mosses e.g. by the Mossclone consortium to monitor air pollution.[citation needed]

Moss is a very frugal photoautotrophic organism that has been kept in vitro for research purposes since the beginning of the 20th century.[1]

The first moss bioreactors for the model organism Physcomitrella patens were developed in the 1990s to comply with the safety standards regarding the handling of genetically modified organisms and to gain sufficient biomass for experimental purposes.[2]
