Fermentation
Making use of microorganisms for the production of chemicals from renewable ressources is the core of industrial biotechnology.
Reaction engineering analyses of metabolically optimized producer strains and metabolic analyses of those strains in production processes are necessary for efficient bioproduction on an industrial scale.
