Course Objective:
To introduce the engineering
principles of bioprocesses including characteristics of different microbial
cells, enzymes, microbial kinetics, and design considerations.
Biological Basics: Cell Structure and
function, Chemicals, Cell metabolism.
Enzymes: Kinetics of enzymatic
reactions and design of reactors, Immobilized enzymes and kinetics.
Microbial Growth: Kinetics of cell
growth and metabolite production, Pure and mixed culture.
Mass Transfer: Transport phenomena
in bioreactors, Mass transfer considerations in design and analysis of various
types of bioreactors in batch, semi batch and continuous modes of operation.
Scale Up: Principles,
instrumentation and control of bioprocesses.
Down-stream Processing: Separation and
disintegration of cells, Extraction and concentration of metabolites.
Recombinant DNA: Recent advances in rDNA.
