Course Objective

Major objective of the course is to introduce fundamentals of bioprocess technologies for production of chemicals,foods, pharmaceuticals and waste treatment. A brief coverage of process biochemistry and microbiology will be presented. Enzymatic and microbial conversions will be covered for suspended and immobilized biocatalysts. Bioreactorconsiderations and product separation techniques will constitute major parts of the course.
