5 Questions
Define bioprocess and provide examples of primary and secondary metabolites produced through bioprocess.
Bioprocess is the application of natural or genetically manipulated whole cells/tissues/organs, or parts thereof, for producing industrially or medically important products. Examples of primary metabolites include organic acid fermentation (Citric acid, Acetic acid, Lactic acid) and amino acid production (L-Glutamic acid, L-Lysine, L-Tryptophan). Examples of secondary metabolites include antibiotic production (Streptomycin, Erythromycin, Tetracycline, Penicillin, Bacitracin) and industrial enzyme production (α-amylase; Cellulase; Protease; Lipase), as well as vitamins (Cyanocobalamine (B12), Riboflavin (B2)) and proteins (mAbs, tPA, hir)
What are the principles of fermentation technology?
The principles of fermentation technology involve the application of natural or genetically manipulated whole cells/tissues/organs, or parts thereof, for producing industrially or medically important products. This includes the production of primary metabolites such as organic acids and amino acids, as well as secondary metabolites such as antibiotics, industrial enzymes, vitamins, and proteins.
Name two textbooks related to bioprocess principles.
Pauline Doran's 'Bioprocess Engineering Calculation' and Shuler and Kargi's 'Bioprocess Engineering' are two textbooks related to bioprocess principles.
What is the application of bioprocess in producing industrially or medically important products?
The application of bioprocess involves the use of natural or genetically manipulated whole cells/tissues/organs, or parts thereof, for producing industrially or medically important products such as primary and secondary metabolites, antibiotics, industrial enzymes, vitamins, and proteins.
What are some examples of primary metabolites produced through bioprocess?
Examples of primary metabolites produced through bioprocess include organic acid fermentation (Citric acid, Acetic acid, Lactic acid) and amino acid production (L-Glutamic acid, L-Lysine, L-Tryptophan)
