Download or read book UPSTREAM AND DOWNSTREAM PROCESSING OF BIOPRODUCTS written by R. Puvanakrishnan and published by MJP Publisher. This book was released on 2019-06-20 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Microorganisms have been exploited for many centuries for the production of fermented foods and beverages and for bread-making. The production of alcoholic beverages using microbes was the first major industrialized process. The technology developed for large-scale brewing was adapted for other anaerobic processes such as acetone and butanol in the early 1900s. With the discovery of penicillins, rapid developments were made in the technology of submerged culture fermentation of aerobic microorganisms under controlled conditions. The advancements in microbiology and process biochemistry improved our ability to harness the potential of microorganisms through improved bioprocessing methods to manufacture new products with economic viability. Microbial derived bioproducts have been gaining importance in the food, pharmaceutical, textile, leather, cosmetic and chemical industries, and most important among them are therapeutic proteins and peptides, enzymes, antigens, vaccines, antibiotics, drugs, etc.Not all microbial production processes involve culture of the organism in liquid medium. Instead, the organism can be grown on the surface of a solid substrate. Solid substrate (or solid state) fermentation (SSF) is an established traditional technology in many countries, producing edible mushrooms, fungal- fermented foods and soy sauce. Before the development of processes in liquid culture, citric acid and some microbial enzymes were produced by SSF. Carbon composting is also a form of SSF.

Download or read book Industrialization of Biology written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tremendous progress in biology over the last half century - from Watson and Crick's elucidation of the structure of DNA to today's astonishing, rapid progress in the field of synthetic biology - has positioned us for significant innovation in chemical production. New bio-based chemicals, improved public health through improved drugs and diagnostics, and biofuels that reduce our dependency on oil are all results of research and innovation in the biological sciences. In the past decade, we have witnessed major advances made possible by biotechnology in areas such as rapid, low-cost DNA sequencing, metabolic engineering, and high-throughput screening. The manufacturing of chemicals using biological synthesis and engineering could expand even faster. A proactive strategy - implemented through the development of a technical roadmap similar to those that enabled sustained growth in the semiconductor industry and our explorations of space - is needed if we are to realize the widespread benefits of accelerating the industrialization of biology. Industrialization of Biology presents such a roadmap to achieve key technical milestones for chemical manufacturing through biological routes. This report examines the technical, economic, and societal factors that limit the adoption of bioprocessing in the chemical industry today and which, if surmounted, would markedly accelerate the advanced manufacturing of chemicals via industrial biotechnology. Working at the interface of synthetic chemistry, metabolic engineering, molecular biology, and synthetic biology, Industrialization of Biology identifies key technical goals for next-generation chemical manufacturing, then identifies the gaps in knowledge, tools, techniques, and systems required to meet those goals, and targets and timelines for achieving them. This report also considers the skills necessary to accomplish the roadmap goals, and what training opportunities are required to produce the cadre of skilled scientists and engineers needed.
