"Process biotechnology practice has advanced substantially in more recent years. The advancements have taken place not only with microbes or microbial systems but also with mammalian/animal and plant cell culture process biotechnology systems. For protecting these advancements by contributors, various concerns of patenting have been presented in brief for this field. Thus this book encompasses topics concerning patenting and scientific areas of process biochemistry, cell biology and newer areas of system/senior level personnel and for bioprocess engineers and biotechnologists."
