Process Biotechnology Fundamentals

Newer intellectual challenges for process biotechnology (PB) have emerged with impressive recent progress of gene-concerned and nano-systemic biosystems and the parallel developments in the related instruments/equipment/machines for analytical methodologies. These progresses have convinced universities/institutes and affiliatedcolleges that biotechnology (BT)/PB is one of the key areas for R&D and education in biochemical engineering/chemical engineering and their related interdisciplinary highereducation areas for human resource development (HRD).

This book has the following unique features:

• Integration of academic and practical bioprocessing principles towards process biotechnology development.
• Research generated data never before published in a single collated text.
• Detailed aspects of oxygen mass transfer in biological systems.
• Ways to control undesirable microorganisms.
• Provides scope for progressive development in scale up of industrialbioprocessing system.
• Systematic design engineering calculations of bioprocessing systems.
• PCR instrumental analysis: theory, engineering and technology.
• Heat and mass transfer concerns in rDNA bioreactors.
• Innovative microbial microfermentation equipment and aspect.
• Nanosystemic PB concerns in bioelectricity generation in biofuel cell.
• Nanosight instrument and use in analytical biosystems.
• Enhancing scopes of BTBE in PB and education.
• Abundance of illustrative tables, figures and mathematical relations.
• Numerous mathematical problems and multiple choice questions.
