| book description |

Bioreactors for Health and Sustainability describes the basic concepts of chemical and biochemical kinetics, chemical reaction engineering, reactor design, ideal reactors, homogeneous and heterogeneous reactors, and their applications in several biotechnological fields from industry, health, and sustainability. The book brings together in a single source the most significant types of reactors that use molecular (enzymes) and cell biocatalysts for biological applications, which range from enzyme reactors, microbial reactors, plant cell culture reactors, photobioreactors, cell reactors, reactors for stem cell culture, reactors for tissue and organ engineering, microbioreactors, reactors for cellular agriculture products, to bioreactors for wastewater treatment. It elaborates on bioreactors from the molecular level of enzymes to microbial, plant, animal, and human cells and tissues and organs, and provides sustainable applications in industrial, environmental, and health sectors. As such, the book bridges the gap between the engineering sciences and technology and the health sciences areas. Bioreactors for Health and Sustainability brings a novel contribution to biotechnology that is based on the upstream stages of a biological process, which makes it of broad interest for professionals, researchers, and students in biological/ biochemical engineering and bioengineering.
