Biotechnology notes

A short and quick way to learn fermentation, its processes and types, bioreactors, fermentation products and microbial stoichiometry and energetics. Easy to learn for exams.

A quick summary of all the derivations required to understand the obtaining of each formulae to relate various factors like work done, force, pressure, volume, enthalpy, entropy, internal energy etc

A summary of the main concepts of metabolic stoichiometry and energetics in bioprocess. Yield coefficient, metabolism energetics, electron balance, stoichiometry, degree of reduction, elemental balance etc.

Quick yet detailed notes for introduction to fundamental bioprocesses, upstream and downstream processes, fermentation and its types, fermentor operations, use of industrially important organisms in producing primary and secondary metabolites(lactic acid, insulin, ethanol, streptomycin etc), other industrial products(rhamnolipids/biosurfactants).
