Shuler (chemical engineering, Cornell U., USA) and Kargi (environmental engineering, Dokuz Eylnl U., Turkey) present the new edition of a textbook designed to introduce traditional chemical engineers to the essential concepts of bioengineering, the application of engineering principles to design, develop, and analyze processes using biocatalysts. After outlining basic biological concepts, the text discusses such engineering principles as operating considerations for bioreactors for suspension and immobilized cultures; selection, scale-up, operation, and control of bioreactors; and recovery and purification of products. Final chapters focus attention on applications to such non-conventional biological systems as animal and plant cell cultures, genetically engineered organisms, mixed cultures, and medical applications. The book has been updated to reflect recent advances in genome mapping and other technologies. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
