- 24 - ABSTRACT This invention provides a method and apparatus for the growth of biological material from a supply of suitable nutrient wherein the volume of biological material and the size and shape of the units in which it is present within a vessel (10) in which the reaction takes place can be accurately controlled. Control is achieved by providing a support structure (14) for the biological material comprising one or more bodies each of which has substantial voidage within its internal structure and which essentially fills with the biological material but which does not overfill since excess growth is restricted. Restriction can be achieved by removal of excess material or by removal of the bodies at the time that they become filled. The techniques are capable of numerous industrial applications including various biological fermentation processes as well as the purification of sewage and industrial effluents, for example.
