Process Biotechnology Fundamentals 3 E

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 RD 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.

Now in its third edition, this text is intended for teaching senior or graduate level courses, and as a self-study text for practising biochemical engineers, biotechnologists, applied and industrial microbiologists, cell biologists, and scientists involved in bioprocessing research and development. It offers intensive quantitative training in the i

Rapid progress has been made in the discipline of biochemical engineering and biotechnology for bioprocess development during the last 50 years. Process Biotechnology: theory and practice has been written with the consideration that tutorial practice is as important as understanding the subject theoretically. This book is an introductory tutorial book involving multidisciplinary principles. Principal innovations that have been made in biosystem-related developments have been emphasized through tutorials in this book. The first few chapters cover theoretical aspects of biochemical and chemical engineering concerns in biotechnological advances in a concise manner. The rest have been dedicated to the tutorial aspects of this multidisciplinary subject. This book covers biological, ecological, chemical, and biochemical engineering topics related to the subject. It provides much needed theory-based solved numerical problems for practice in quantitative evaluation of various parameters relevant to process biotechnology. It will be useful for students who would like to further their careers as biotechnologists and can be used as a self-study text for practicing engineers, biotechnologists, microbiologists, and scientists involved in bioprocessing research and other related fields.

Molecular biotechnology continues to triumph, as this textbook testifies - edited by one of the academic pioneers in the field and written by experienced professionals. This completely revised second edition covers the entire spectrum, from the fundamentals of molecular and cell biology, via an overview of standard methods and technologies, the application of the various "-omics", and the development of novel drug targets, right up to the significance of system biology in biotechnology. The whole is rounded off by an introduction to industrial biotechnology as well as chapters on company foundation, patent law and marketing. The new edition features: - Large format and full color throughout - Proven structure according to basics, methods, main topics and economic perspectives - New sections on system biology, RNA interference, microscopic techniques, high throughput sequencing, laser applications, biocatalysis, current biomedical applications and drug approval - Optimized teaching with learning targets, a glossary containing around 800 entries, over 500 important abbreviations and further reading. The only resource for those who are seriously interested in the topic. Bonus material available online free of charge: www.wiley-vch.de/home/molecbiotech

A pressing need of the current millennium is to exploit biological processes for commercialization and industrialization. In order to do this the fundamentals of Process Biotechnology need to be understood fully. This book integrates academic and practical bioprocessing principles towards process biotechnology development. It contains research generated database incorporated text, never before published in a single collated text.

A unique resource for the next generation of biotech innovators Enabling everything from the deciphering of the human genome to environmentally friendly biofuels to lifesaving new pharmaceuticals, biotechnology has blossomed as an area of discovery and opportunity. Modern Biotechnology provides a much-needed introduction connecting the latest innovations in this area to key engineering fundamentals. With an unmatched level of coverage, this unique resource prepares a wide range of readers for the practical application of biotechnology in biopharmaceuticals, biofuels, and other bioproducts. Organized into fourteen sections, reflecting a typical semester course, Modern Biotechnology covers such key topics as: Metabolic engineering Enzymes and enzyme kinetics Biocatalysts and other new bioproducts Cell fusion Genetic engineering, DNA, RNA, and genes Genomes and genomics Production of biopharmaceuticals Fermentation modeling and process analysis Taking a practical, applications-based approach, the text presents discussions of important fundamentals in biology, biochemistry, and engineering with relevant case studies showing technology applications and manufacturing scale-up. Written for today's wider, more interdisciplinary readership, Modern Biotechnology offers a solid intellectual foundation for students and professionals entering the modern biotechnology industry.
