bioprocesso
A bioprocesso refers to a sequence of controlled biochemical reactions carried out under optimized conditions to produce valuable compounds, such as pharmaceuticals, enzymes, biofuels, or industrial chemicals. These processes leverage living organisms, such as bacteria, fungi, yeast, or plant and animal cells, as well as their enzymes or metabolites, to convert raw materials into desired products. Bioprocesses are widely used in biotechnology, pharmaceutical manufacturing, food production, and environmental remediation due to their efficiency, specificity, and sustainability compared to traditional chemical methods.
The general stages of a bioprocesso include substrate preparation, microbial or cellular cultivation (bioreactor operation), product
Bioprocesses are classified into two main categories: primary and secondary metabolism-based processes. Primary metabolism involves the
Safety, scalability, and economic feasibility are critical considerations in bioprocess design. Strict regulatory standards govern the
