A hands-on book for the practicing microbiologist, biotechnologist, or chemist who is starting to use a research scale fermenter and setting up a lab, Practical Fermentation Technology is intended as a textual equivalent to the type of mentoring that a beginner would receive from an experienced practitioner. Both comprehensive and concise, with an emphasis on the practical (the how) rather than the theoretical (the why), the scope of the book defines fermentationand the possible uses of fermenters.
