Inhaltsangabe

Green technologies are no longer the “future” of science, but the present.  With more and more mature industries, such as the process industries, making large strides seemingly every single day, and more consumers demanding products created from green technologies, it is essential for any business in any industry to be familiar with the latest processes and technologies.  It is all part of a global effort to “go greener,” and this is nowhere more apparent than in fermentation technology. 

This book describes relevant aspects of industrial-scale fermentation, an expanding area of activity, which already generates commercial values of over one third of a trillion US dollars annually, and which will most likely radically change the way we produce chemicals in the long-term future. From biofuels and bulk amino acids to monoclonal antibodies and stem cells, they all rely on mass suspension cultivation of cells in stirred bioreactors, which is the most widely used and versatile way to produce. Today, a wide array of cells can be cultivated in this way, and for most of them genetic engineering tools are also available. Examples of products, operating procedures, engineering and design aspects, economic drivers and cost, and regulatory issues are addressed. In addition, there will be a discussion of how we got to where we are today, and of the real world in industrial fermentation. This chapter is exclusively dedicated to large-scale production used in industrial settings.

Highlighting products that have great potential in the era of green technology, this volume covers a broad field of fermentation technology used for the production of high value products, which are currently in high demand.

This first volume in a 2-volume set

• Discusses fermentation products of high commercial value that are currently industrially demanding, and offers practical applications to aid in the development and research of these products
• Is divided into sections, covering antibiotics, sugar and sugar alcohols, metabolically engineered derived products, and many other topics
• Focuses on the fermentation product rather than fermentation processes
• Will be helpful to industry personnel, scientists, professors, researchers and students to learn the new concept and better approaches for the development of fermentation-based industrial products.
