Advances in Bioprocess Engineering

Bol

Bioprocess engineering has played a key role in biotechnology, contributing towards bringing the exciting new discoveries of molecular and cellular biology into the applied sphere, and in maintaining established processes, some centuries-old, efficient and essential for today's industry. Bioprocess engineering has played a key role in biotechnology, contributing towards bringing the discoveries of molecular and cellular biology into the applied sphere, and in maintaining established processes, some centuries-old, efficient and essential for today's industry. Developments and applications in areas of biotechnology, along with increasing constraints in costs, product quality, regulatory and environmental considerations, have placed the biochemical engineer at the forefront of new challenges. This second volume of "Advances in Bioprocess Engineering" reflects the multidisciplinary nature of the field, where new and traditional areas of application are nurtured by a better understanding of fundamental phenomena and by the utilization of novel techniques and methodologies. The chapters in this book were written by the invited speakers to the 2nd International Symposium on Bioprocess Engineering, Mazatlan, Mexico, September 1997.

Bioprocess engineering plays a key role in the development and optimization of bioprocesses leading to the products of biotechnology. The work is a reflection of the First International Symposium on Bioprocess Engineering, June 1994. Bioprocess engineering plays a key role in the development and optimization of bioprocesses leading to the products of biotechnology. This work aims to cover all the essential sub-areas and should be of interest to scientists active in all the disciplines involved in bioprocess engineering. This review of basic and applied approaches is brought together by a broad international group of expert authors. The work is a reflection of the First International Symposium on Bioprocess Engineering, June 1994. However, it must be emphasized that the book cannot be perceived as a regular symposium proceedings volume: a strict peer-review process assures the readers of a high level of quality; more than a quarter of the work consists of invited contributions, while less than half of the spontaneously submitted mansucripts were accepted for publication.
