We are all aware of opportunities created by advances in molecular biology. Living cells and their components can be used to produce a large number of useful compounds such as therapeutics and other products. But to obtain significant benefits as a commercial operation, molecular biology needs the support of biochemical engineering. The vital area of biotechnology that is concerned with practical application of biological agents (whole cell systems and biocatalysts) and the methodologies and processes associated with it on an industrial scale is biochemical engineering. Biochemical engineering is applicable in different areas of biotechnology such as biochemical reactions, enzyme technology, environmental biotechnology, microbial manipulations, bioseparation technology, plant and animal cell cultures, and food technology. It consists of the development of new process technology, designing bioreactors, developing efficient, and economically feasible extraction and purification procedures (downstream processing). Chapter 1 and 2 discuss about the basic concept of biotechnology and biochemical engineering. Chapter 3 tells about the concept of enzyme kinetics, their evolution and use in biochemical engineering. Chapter 4 and 5 describe immobilized enzyme and industrial applications of enzymes. Chapter 6 depicts about industrial microbiology. This chapter discuss different concepts about fermentation process, cell products and other modified compounds. Chapter 7 tells about different types of cell cultivations in microbial, animal, and plant. Chapter 8 discuss about the fermentation proce4ss and its control. Chapter 9 and 10 describe cell kinetics and fermenter design and also how the cell grows. Chapter 11 discuss about the bioreactor design. Chapter 12 depicts the downstream processing, centrifugration, sedimentation and other technology. Chapter 13 tells about the sterilization.

A complete reference for fermentation engineers engaged in commercial chemical and pharmaceutical production, Fermentation and Biochemical Engineering Handbook emphasizes the operation, development and design of manufacturing processes that use fermentation, separation and purification techniques. Contributing authors from companies such as Merck, Eli Lilly, Amgen and Bristol-Myers Squibb highlight the practical aspects of the processes—data collection, scale-up parameters, equipment selection, troubleshooting, and more. They also provide relevant perspectives for the different industry sectors utilizing fermentation techniques, including chemical, pharmaceutical, food, and biofuels. New material in the third edition covers topics relevant to modern recombinant cell fermentation, mammalian cell culture, and biorefinery, ensuring that the book will remain applicable around the globe. It uniquely demonstrates the relationships between the synthetic processes for small molecules such as active ingredients, drugs and chemicals, and the biotechnology of protein, vaccine, hormone, and antibiotic production. This major revision also includes new material on membrane pervaporation technologies for biofuels and nanofiltration, and recent developments in instrumentation such as optical-based dissolved oxygen probes, capacitance-based culture viability probes, and in situ real-time fermentation monitoring with wireless technology. It addresses topical environmental considerations, including the use of new (bio)technologies to treat and utilize waste streams and produce renewable energy from wastewaters. Options for bioremediation are also explained. - Fully updated to cover the latest advances in recombinant cell fermentation, mammalian cell culture and biorefinery, along with developments in instrumentation - Industrial contributors from leading global companies, including Merck, Eli Lilly, Amgen, and Bristol-Myers Squibb - Covers synthetic processes for both small and large molecules

A comprehensive presentation of essential topics for biological engineers, focusing on the development and application of dynamic models of biomolecular and cellular phenomena. This book describes the fundamental molecular and cellular events responsible for biological function, develops models to study biomolecular and cellular phenomena, and shows, with examples, how models are applied in the design and interpretation of experiments on biological systems. Integrating molecular cell biology with quantitative engineering analysis and design, it is the first textbook to offer a comprehensive presentation of these essential topics for chemical and biological engineering. The book systematically develops the concepts necessary to understand and study complex biological phenomena, moving from the simplest elements at the smallest scale and progressively adding complexity at the cellular organizational level, focusing on experimental testing of mechanistic hypotheses. After introducing the motivations for formulation of mathematical rate process models in biology, the text goes on to cover such topics as noncovalent binding interactions; quantitative descriptions of the transient, steady state, and equilibrium interactions of proteins and their ligands; enzyme kinetics; gene expression and protein trafficking; network dynamics; quantitative descriptions of growth dynamics; coupled transport and reaction; and discrete stochastic processes. The textbook is intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in chemical engineering and bioengineering, and has been developed by the authors for classes they teach at MIT and the University of Minnesota.

"Optimization for Chemical and Biochemical Engineering - Theory, Algorithms, Modeling and Applications"--

Bioprocess Engineering involves the design and development of equipment and processes for the manufacturing of products such as food, feed, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, chemicals, and polymers and paper from biological materials.
