Some of the peptide families here have been successfully expressed in standard laboratory bacterial or yeast expression systems. This approach allows the production of larger amounts of peptides not amenable to chemical synthesis and opens the potential of large-scale production for biotechnological uses, for example, as plant protection agent applied externally. 

Figure 4.1 Shown here are industrial biotechnology reactors used to grow cells for production of biotechnology products. Temperature, pH, and other conditions are carefully monitored and controlled. Industrial biotechnology reactors can hold thousands of liters and stand two stories high.

Comprehensive descriptions of the basic unit operations commonly used in the production of biotechnology products are available in the literature (14). This section focuses on the typical unit operations currently used for production of biological molecules in cell culture and the technologies used for the purification of pharmaceutical proteins. For each of these operations, laboratory and pilot scale experiments provide the basis for scale-up, particularly to define the expected range of process operating parameters. 

Because animals do not synthesize either the aromatic or branched-chain amino acids, these materials can be applied to kill unwanted vegetation without causing harm to domestic animals or humans. Certain derivatives can often be selectively applied to combat noxious plants without appreciable harm to crops. More promising, however, is the prospect of using biotechnology to incorporate genes for enzymes specifically resistant to one of the herbicides into seeds used for crop production.
