Advances in Bioprocess Engineering. 1994. 541 p. gr8vo. Hardbound.

Bioprocess engineering plays a key role in the development and optimization of bioprocesses leading to the products of biotechnology.A survey of the state-of-the-art in this field is greatly needed. Thiswork covers all the essential sub-areas and as such is required readingfor scientists active in all the disciplines involved in bioprocessengineering. This review of basic and applied approaches is broughttogether by a broad international group of expert authors. The work is areflection of the First International Symposium on BioprocessEngineering, June 1994. However, it must be emphasized that the bookcannot be perceived as a regular symposium proceedings volume: a strictpeer-review process assures the readers of a high level of quality:more than a quarter of the work consists of invited contributions, whileless than half of the spontaneously submitted manuscripts were acceptedfor publication.
