Contents

From [MV-BioVT-86434-K-7] Biorefinement:
The lecture focuses on the sustainable use of renewable resources by biotechnological or chemical means (integrated biorefinery concepts). The following topics will be treated in detail:
  • Overview of biorefinery concepts
  • Concept of the Biobased Economy
  • Coupling of the biorefinery to chemical production networks
  • Sugar- and starch-based biorefineries
  • Whole plant biorefinery
  • Lignocellulose Biorefinery
  • Enzymes for biorefineries
  • Biorefinery product families (sugar, lignin, biopolymers, specialty chemicals)
From [MV-BioVT-86433-K-7] Downstream Processing in Biotechnology II:
  • Repeated introduction to the topic of downstream processing of bioprocesses (cell harvesting, digestion, coarse and fine purification of products)
  • Affinity processes in the purification (e.g. membrane adsorbers, TAGs)
  • Magnetic separation processes
  • Electrical separation processes (e.g. electrophoresis, electrodialysis)
  • Solvent extraction in bioprocess technology
  • Isolation of cells (e.g. cytometry, isolation of stem cells)

The procedures are explained using practical examples. The focus is on microbial processes as well as the processing of fermentations of animal and plant cells.

From [MV-BioVT-86441-K-7] Bioprocess Engineering Lab II:
  • Cultivation of a GMO for heterologous expression of a cytochrome P450 monooxygenase
  • Induction of the expression of the target enzyme
  • Purification of monooxygenase using various affinity techniques
  • Characterization of the purified enzyme
  • Basic balancing of the process
  • Simulation and scaling of the process
