Abstract

Bioreactors play a central role in all manufacturing and remediation sys
tems based on biotechnology. There is a wide range of biochemical engine
ering strategies for enhancing the efficiency of bioreactors. Here we ad
dress generic issues related to the physical, genetic and physiological
constraints in bioreactor design, operation, scale-up and optimization.
In particular, we will re-visit important issues related to intensificat
ion opportunities driven by substrate pretreatment, fed-batch protocols,
cell-immobilization and equipment retrofits. An overview of our own res
earch case studies with microbial fermentations and mammalian cell cultu
res in stirred-tank and air-lift bioreactor systems will illustrate the
effectiveness of proposed innovative procedures for various bioprocesses
. The relative significance of the expression system, the bioreactor and
the downstream recovery of products will be noted. This is a timely app
raisal of ongoing bioprocessing options in view of the current techno-ec
onomic interest in environmental pollution, energy alternatives, generic
drugs and the development of new ones.
