Bioprocesses use microbial, plant, or animal cells and the materials derived from them, such as enzymes or DNA, to produce industrial biochemicals and pharmaceuticals. In the past two decades, the economic output from bioprocesses has increased drastically. This economic growth was the result of the translation of numerous discoveries to innovative technologies and manufactured products. The success has brought together numerous scientists and engineers of different disciplines to work together to break new ground. The task of taking biotechnological discoveries to a successful product or process requires a multidisciplinary team consisting of engineers and chemical and biological scientists to work synergistically. The success of a project, a team, or even a company in biotechnology often hinges on the ability of scientists and engineers of different specialties to work effectively together. This book has been written with this important characteristic of the bioprocess industry in mind. A major goal of the book is to give students the necessary vocabulary and critical engineering knowledge to excel in bioprocess technology.
