Advances in Bioprocess Engineering

Bioprocess engineering plays a key role in the development and optimization of bioprocesses leading to the products of biotechnology. The work is a reflection of the First International Symposium on Bioprocess Engineering, June 1994. Bioprocess engineering plays a key role in the development and optimization of bioprocesses leading to the products of biotechnology. This work aims to cover all the essential sub-areas and should be of interest to scientists active in all the disciplines involved in bioprocess engineering. This review of basic and applied approaches is brought together by a broad international group of expert authors. The work is a reflection of the First International Symposium on Bioprocess Engineering, June 1994. However, it must be emphasized that the book cannot be perceived as a regular symposium proceedings volume: a strict peer-review process assures the readers of a high level of quality; more than a quarter of the work consists of invited contributions, while less than half of the spontaneously submitted mansucripts were accepted for publication.
