Industrial Biotechnology

Industrial Biotechnology is the production of biomaterials or performing industrial processes, using organisms or their physiological processes. Recombinant DNA Technology is used for producing various compounds in microorganisms and other creatures. Combining recombinant DNA techniques and biotechnology has competitively paved the way to change future industry. Biological systems are exploited throughout industry in such processes as remediation of environmental pollutants and the preparation of food additives. Bioprocess engineering is the sub-discipline within biotechnology most responsible for translating the discoveries of the sciences into practical products, processes or systems that can serve the needs of society. Besides traditional fermentation industries, bioprocess engineering also plays a dominant role in the successful commercialization of current and future bioengineering derived products because most products will eventually require more efficient and economical processes. Bioprocess engineering is also a critical element for tissue engineering because it is dependent on the ability to procure large production of cells. Unique combinations of skills and abilities are becoming increasingly important to many of these new bioprocesses that combine innovation from a variety of disciplines. This book deals with the concepts of Industrial Biotechnology. In a nutshell, It acts as an indispensable guide for the students.
