Biochemical Reactions — A First Look

  • Chapter
Bioreaction Engineering Principles

Abstract

Having had a brief overlook of the processes, which determine the life processes in a microbial cell we shall now turn to a quantitative treatment of these processes. The goal of all the remaining chapters of the book is, indeed, to understand at least at a superficial level how the cell functions, and by calculations predict what we may expect when living cells are exploited for the production of valuable products.
