The book is divided into three sections: Enzyme mediated
bioprocess, whole cell mediated bioprocess and the engineering
principle in bioprocess
In the first section of this book, the brief introduction about
biochemical engineering is given in chapter 1. The second chapter
deals with basics of enzyme reaction kinetics. The third chapter deals
with an important aspect in enzyme bioprocess Le. immobilization of
enzyme and its kinetics. Chapter 4 is concerned about the industrial
bioprocess involving starch and cellulose.
The second section of this book is related to whole cell mediated
bioprocess. Chapter 5 introduces students with basics of
microbiology and cell culture techniques for both plant and animal
cells. The area emerged as most important because of latest
development in pharmaceutical industry. Chapter 6 deals with cell
kinetics and fermenter design. The kinetics analysis based on
structure and unstructured model is also included. In chapter 7,
genetic engineering aspects were explained, and genetic stability
problems and important engineering aspects of genetically modified
cells were also addressed.
