Biotechnological Products and Process Engineering

Hydrogen gas (∼60% H2) was produced in a continuous flow bioreactor inoculated with heat-treated soil, and fed synthetic wastewater containing glucose (9.5 g l). The pH in the bioreactor was maintained at 5.5 to inhibit consumption of H2 by methanogens. The objective of this study was to characterize bacterial communities in the reactor operated under two different hydraulic retention times (HR...

Safety of Biotechnology Products

Medicines based on the application of recombinant technology are relatively new to the therapeutics industry. This chapter will focus specifically on purified and recombinant proteins, collectively termed protein therapeutic agents (Gallupi et al., 2001), used in the treatment of disease that are able to affect the growth or metabolism of cells in vivo. This rather broad definition includes pro...

Galactomyces geotrichum - moulds from dairy products with high biotechnological potential.

The article reviews the properties of the Galactomyces geotrichum species, the mould that is most important for the dairy industry. G. geotrichum mould has been isolated from milk, cheeses and alcoholic beverage. Its presence in food products makes it possible to obtain a characteristic aroma and taste, which corresponds to the needs and preferences of consumers. G. geotrichum plays an importan...
