The module aims to provide to the students the fundamental and practical insights to exploit enzymes and microbes for the manufacturing of products which have a huge industrial significance. It uniquely blends the science and engineering with various biochemical processes to obtain products of diverse fields such as chemicals, food, bioenergy, etc. The module introduces bioreactors, its types, operation methods and provides an experimental demonstration of the same. Strategies to obtain higher yields, design of the bioreactors and production of goods for industry, including chemicals, plastics, food, agricultural and pharmaceutical products and energy carriers. The module majorly focuses on the applications and allows students to gain practical knowledge rather than mere theory. Thus, the graduates will be able to enter industry with an appropriate level of understanding of the need for both the science and business aspects to be achievable to make a viable product.
