Abstract
Bioreactors are the core of bioprocesses, as they provide the key link between the initial feedstock and the product, where chemical modifications are carried out. Vessels used as bioreactors have to be designed and operated in such a manner to accommodate the requirements of a given type of cells or enzymes to perform in conditions that maximize productivity. Therefore, bioreactor engineering is a cross-disciplinary area, where biology and engineering interact closely. Key issues for bioreactor design and operation are addressed and illustrated by some examples that highlight the relevance of biochemical process industry.
