Studies in Viable Cell Immobilization (Biotechnology Intelligence Unit)
Studies in Viable Cell Immobilization - Biotechnology Intelligence Unit Author:Colin Webb, George A. Dervakos This book provides a coherent analysis of viable cell immobilization, an emerging technology spanning a number of disciplines. Using detailed examples drawn from a variety of commerically-relevant large-scale fermentation reactions, the book covers both the practical and theoretical aspects of this technology. The authors discuss progress in the... more » design of immobilized cell reactors, emphasizing mixing, fluidization characteristics and carrier stability. Mathematical models and results from computer simulations describe the dynamic behavior of viable cells and their intra-particle distribution, including micro-colony formation. As an aid to the reader, the authors have included examples drawn from their own practical research into biomass support particle (BSP) technology.
