In this volume not all stress types are treated. Various aspects have been reviewed recently by various authors e.g. The effects of oxygen on recombinant protein expression by Konz et al. [2]. The Mechanisms by which bacterial cells respond to pH was considered in a Symposium in 1999 [3] and solvent effects were reviewed by de Bont in the article Solvent-tolerant bacteria in biocatalysis [4]. Therefore, these aspects are not considered in this volume. Influence of fluid dynamical stresses on micro-organism, animal and plant cells are in center of interest in this volume. In chapter 2, H.-J. Henzler discusses the quantitative evaluation of fluid dynamical stresses in various type of reactors with different methods based on investigations performed on laboratory an pilot plant scales. S. S. Yim and A. Shamlou give a general review on the effects of fluid dynamical and mechanical stresses on micro-organisms and bio-polymers in chapter 3. G. Ketzmer describes the effects of shear stress on adherent cells in chapter 4. Finally, in chapter 5, P. Kieran considers the influence of stress on plant cells.
