Publisher's Synopsis
Bioreaction engineering is a key area for the optimisation of biotechnological processes and the production of biochemicals made by enzymes, microbial and plant and animal cells together with superior organisms. This book describes the fundamentals of bioreactors and the different types of bioreactors with increasing complexity. It highlights new methodologies for the analysis of multiphase bioreactors, namely hydrodynamics, image analysis and modelling. Specific chapters also aim to provide knowledge on the interactions between kinetic, transport phenomena and biocatalyst stability and cell physiology in non-conventional media such as organic solvents and pressurised gas phases
