Bioreactors for Health and Sustainability describes the basic concepts of chemical and biochemical kinetics, chemical reaction engineering, reactors design, ideal reactors, and homogeneous and heterogeneous reactors. The book brings together the most significant types of reactors that use molecular (enzymes) and cells biocatalysts for biological applications, which range from enzyme reactors, microbial reactors, plant cell culture and reactors, photobioreactors, cell reactors, reactors for stem cell culture, reactors for tissue and organ engineering, microbioreactors, reactors for cellular agriculture products, to bioreactors for waste-water treatment.The book elaborates on bioreactors from molecular level enzymes, to microbial, plant, animal and human cells and tissue and organs, and provides sustainable applications in industrial, environmental and health sectors. As such, the book bridges the gap between the Engineering Sciences and Technology and Health Sciences areas.- Provides basic concepts of biological kinetics and bioreaction engineering- Includes non-traditional topics in biochemical and biological engineering- Addresses cellular agricultural engineering
