Course objectives
Objective of the lecture are biochemical principles of classical and modern biotechnologies (from food to environment) and fundamental processes in fermenters. Emphasis is based on growth and production kinetics in batch and continuous processes, kinetic models in biotechnology and physiology, and immobilized cells and enzymes.
Syllabus
  • Microbial and enzyme biotechnology. Biochemistry, microbiology and engineering principles.
  • The importance of microorganisms in biotechnology. Biochemistry and physiology of microorganisms related to biotechnological processes.
  • Biochemical and chemical principles of classical biotechnologies (e.g., beer, wine, organic acids, biomass production as a protein source, biogass, environmental applications).
  • Cultivation and production reactors, scale-up.
  • Aeration in bioprocesses. Methods for determination of mass-transfer oxygen coefficient. Aeration parameters in bioreactors in relation to oxygen demand in production cultures and enzymes, scale-up.
  • Growth and production kinetics. The models of substrate utilization, product formation, cell growth and death kinetics. Determination of kinetic parameters in batch and continuous processes.
  • Mathematical models in biotechnology and physiology. The selection and application of the model. Errors in data and calculations, statistical analysis, testing linear and non-linear models.
  • Immobilised cells and enzymes. Principles and applications. Bioreactors based on immobilised cells and enzymes. Bioreactor configuration, kinetic pattern.
