Biochemical Engineering and Biotechnology, 2nd Edition, outlines the principles of biochemical processes and explains their use in the manufacturing of every day products. The author uses a diirect approach that should be very useful for students in following the concepts and practical applications. This book is unique in having many solved problems, case studies, examples and demonstrations of detailed experiments, with simple design equations and required calculations.
- Covers major concepts of biochemical engineering and biotechnology
- Accessible to chemical engineering students who need to learn and apply biological knowledge in engineering principals
- Promotes self-teaching of chapters: it is easy to follow with many solved problem and case studies; it enables the reader to easily observe how the engineering concepts are applied in actual cases
- Describes how to carry biological research in industrial fields
- Includes solved problems, examples and demonstrations of detailed experiments with simple design equations and all required calculations
- Offers many graphs that present actual experimental data, figures, and tables, along with explanations. This is a good book for both those interested in more advanced research in the field of biotechnology and an actual guide for beginners to demonstrate and establish research in this field

Industrial Microbiology
Abstract
In this chapter, application of industrial microbiology is discussed. The role of bioscience and biotechnology in biochemical processes are investigated. The applications of fermentation in a number of biological processes are reviewed. The biological transformation of useful products in living cells in terms of food, medicine, chemicals, antibiotics, and protein are discussed. Fermentation processes are able to produce very useful biobased products that are used in our daily life. Deep understanding of the bioconversion processes may assist readers to develop advance technology for obtaining a high yield of products. Schematic flow diagrams for several fermentation processes are demonstrated in this Chapter In these biological pathways, carbon sources such as corn, potato starch, molasses, and whey are used in fermentative processes for the production of amino acids, enzymes, proteins, and antibiotics.
