Principles of Fermentation Processes (BENG0066)

This module aims to provide an overview of the principles of fermentation technology and fermenter operation and a framework for the quantitative evaluation of fermentation process productivity and yield. The lecture material aims to illustrate the current state-of-the-art in industrial fermentation process operation. The underlying principles of fermentation are introduced through a series of lectures, which are supported by quantitative, problem-based case studies and the use of fermentation simulation software.

Upon completion of the course, a student should be able to:

Gain in-depth knowledge required to select different expression systems and to formulate suitable growth media
	Specify fermenter operating conditions under different scenarios
	Quantify and evaluate fermentation process performance
	Clearly distinguish different bioreactor systems and their applications and appreciate the latest technology developments (perfusion modes, single-use reactors, etc)
