Fundamental Bioengineering
Reeks: Advanced Biotechnology
Sang Yup Lee ; Jens Nielsen ; Gregory Stephanopoulos
- A
- thorough
- introduction
- to
- the
- basics
- of
- bioengineering,
- with
- a
- focus
- on
- applications
- in
- the
- emerging
- "white"
- biotechnology
- industry.
As
- such,
- this
- latest
- volume
- in
- the
- "Advanced
- Biotechnology"
- series
- covers
- the
- principles
- for
- the
- design
- and
- analysis
- of
- industrial
- bioprocesses
- as
- well
- as
- the
- design
- of
- bioremediation
- systems,
- and
- several
- biomedical
- applications.
- No
- fewer
- than
- seven
- chapters
- introduce
- stoichiometry,
- kinetics,
- thermodynamics
- and
- the
- design
- of
- ideal
- and
- real
- bioreactors,
- illustrated
- by
- more
- than
- 50
- practical
- examples.
- Further
- chapters
- deal
- with
- the
- tools
- that
- enable
- an
- understanding
- of
- the
- behavior
- of
- cell
- cultures
- and
- enzymatically
- catalyzed
- reactions,
- while
- others
- discuss
- the
- analysis
- of
- cultures
- at
- the
- level
- of
- the
- cell,
- as
- well
- as
- structural
- frameworks
- for
- the
- successful
- scale-up
- of
- bioreactions.
- In
- addition,
- a
- short
- survey
- of
- downstream
- processing
- options
- and
- the
- control
- of
- bioreactions
- is
- given.
With
- contributions
- from
- leading
- experts
- in
- industry
- and
- academia,
- this
- is
- a
- comprehensive
- source
- of
- information
- peer-reviewed
- by
- experts
- in
- the field.
