Content of Learning Activity

This course is divided into parts.
The biocatalysis and bioreactor aspects are discussed by the characterisation of the mechanisms (enzymatic and microbial biocatalysis), and engineering microbial bioreactors (flows, continuous reactors, batch, fed-batch, airlift, the mass balances, heat exchanges). Associated with these descriptions, scale up problems and monitoring of processes are presented.
Some examples of models such as metabolic fluxes, structured models, macroscopic models are detailed.
The purification aspects (membranes, chromatography, precipitation, etc.) are then discussed in the light of the final use of bioproduct. Some examples of major industrial bioprocesses are described (antibodies, vaccines, bioethanol, biogas, treatment of urban waters).
