From this model, we can extrapolate that the longer the bioreactor, the more NAs will be degraded, as the ''Pseudomonas'' species are present along the entire length of the bioreactor. | From this model, we can extrapolate that the longer the bioreactor, the more NAs will be degraded, as the ''Pseudomonas'' species are present along the entire length of the bioreactor. | ||
We also find that, when described with a logistic equation, ''Pseudomonas'' populations eventually reached a steady state in each unit, coupled with the plateau of NA concentration in the corresponding units. | We also find that, when described with a logistic equation, ''Pseudomonas'' populations eventually reached a steady state in each unit, coupled with the plateau of NA concentration in the corresponding units. | ||

Ideally, a drip flow bioreactor should be modeled by a plug flow reactor model, which describes a fluid flowing through a pipe with perfect mixing in the radial direction and no mixing in the axial direction. However, we deemed the method above to be sufficient for our purposes and more intuitive in design.
