This book is a short introduction to the engineering principles of
harnessing the vast potential of microorganisms, and animal and
plant cells in making biochemical products. It was written for
scientists who have no background in engineering, and for engineers
with minimal background in biology. The overall subject dealt with
is process. But the coverage goes beyond the process of
biomanufacturing in the bioreactor, and extends to the factory of
cell s biosynthetic machinery. Starting with an overview of
biotechnology and organism, engineers are eased into biochemical
reactions and life scientists are exposed to the technology of
production using cells. Subsequent chapters allow engineers to be
acquainted with biochemical pathways, while life scientist learn
about stoichiometric and kinetic principles of reactions and cell
growth. This leads to the coverage of reactors, oxygen transfer and
scale up. Following three chapters on biomanufacturing of current
and future importance, i.e. cell culture, stem cells and synthetic
biology, the topic switches to product purification, first with a
conceptual coverage of operations used in bioseparation, and then a
more detailed analysis to provide a conceptual understanding of
chromatography, the modern workhorse of bioseparation. Drawing on
principles from engineering and life sciences, this book is for
practitioners in biotechnology and bioengineering. The author has
used the book for a course for advanced students in both
engineering and life sciences. To this end, problems are provided
at the end of each chapter.
