25.
The high oxygen transfer efficiencies of airlift bioreactors is due to
the large aspect ratio of the reactor, which leads to a high gas hold-up
the large aspect ratio of the reactor, which leads to a high oxygen solubility at the base of the reactor
the draft tube, which reduces bubble coalescence in the reactor
all of the above
