Biological products

A membrane filter which can uniformly remove all viral agents regardless of the size of the viral agent is not available. Part of the difficulty is that the efficient recovery of the biological product diminishes as the size difference between the vims and biological product lessens. Thus a balance needs to be met where vims removal and product recovery are optimized.

Other Processes. Isopropyl alcohol can be prepared by the Hquid-phase oxidation of propane (118). It is produced iacidentaHy by the reductive condensation of acetone, and is pardy recovered from fermentation (119). Large-scale commercial biological production of isopropyl alcohol from carbohydrate raw materials has also been studied (120—123). 

Center for Biologies Evaluation and Research (CBER). This center is responsible for the regulation and approval of ah biological products intended for use in the treatment, prevention, or cure of diseases or injuries to humans. A biological product is any vims, therapeutic semm, toxin, antitoxin, vaccine, blood or blood component or derivative, or analogous product (5). It also includes products produced by biotechnology, such as interferons and erythropoietins. 

Synthetic Heme. Synthetic compounds that biad or chelate O2 have been produced. These compounds are commercially attractive because manufacture and Hcensure might be developed as a dmg, rather than as a biological product. It has been shown that synthetic hemes can be used to transfuse animals (53). Although synthetic O2 carriers would avoid the limited hemoglobin supply problem, the synthetic procedures are very tedious, and the possibihty of scale up seems remote. 

Albertsson (Paiiition of Cell Paiiicle.s and Macromolecules, 3d ed., Wiley, New York, 1986) has extensively used particle distribution to fractionate mixtures of biological products. In order to demonstrate the versatility of particle distribution, he has cited the example shown in Table 22-14. The feed mixture consisted of polystyrene particles, red blood cells, starch, and cellulose. Liquid-liquid particle distribution has also been studied by using mineral-matter particles (average diameter = 5.5 Im) extracted from a coal liquid as the solid in a xylene-water system [Prudich and Heniy, Am. Inst. Chem. Eng. J., 24(5), 788 (1978)]. By using surface-active agents in order to enhance the water wettability of the solid particles, recoveries of better than 95 percent of the particles to the water phase were obsei ved. All particles remained in the xylene when no surfactant was added.

Changes in surface temperature elsewhere in the globe are likely to have a lesser impact on carbon or DMS production. For example, the warming that a doubling of atmospheric COj could produce in the Southern Ocean has been modelled to lead to decreased carbon uptake, but enhanced biological productivity, due to the temperature effect on phytoplankton growth." This would lead to an approximately 5% increase in DMS production and a lesser increase in CCN. There is thus a negative feedback here, but only of minor impact. 

The bioreactor is the heart of any biochemical process in which enzymes, microbial, mammalian or plant cell systems are used for manufacture of a wide range of useful biological products. The performance of any bioreactor depends on many functions, such as those listed below ... 

Initially fermentation broth has to be characterised on the viscosity of the fluid. If the presence of the biomass or cells causes trouble, they have to be removed. Tire product is stored inside the cells, the cells must be ruptured and the product must be freed. Intracellular protein can easily be precipitated, settled or filtered. In fact the product in diluted broth may not be economical enough for efficient recovery. Enrichment of the product from the bioreactor effluents for increasing product concentration may reduce the cost of product recovery. There are several economical methods for pure product recovery, such as crystallisation of the product from the concentrated broth or liquid phase. Even small amounts of cellular proteins can be lyophilised or dried from crude solution of biological products such as hormone or enzymes.2,3... 

Bacteria, yeast and algae are produced in massive quantities of protein sources as food for animals and humans.1 SCP is considered a major source of feed for animals. The production of valuable biological products from industrial and agricultural wastes is considered through the bioconversion of solid wastes to added-value fermented product, which is easily marketable as animal feedstock. The waste streams that otherwise would cause pollution and threaten the environment can be considered raw material for CSP production using suitable strains of microorganisms.
