- When developing sustainable bioprocesses

## Key Concepts

### Genetic Engineering

**Tools**
- Restriction enzymes: DNA cleavage
- Ligases: DNA joining
- PCR: DNA amplification
- CRISPR-Cas9: Genome editing
- Transformation: Gene insertion

### Bioprocess Engineering

```python
# Example: Simple batch fermentation model
def batch_fermentation(X0, mu, t):
    """
    Calculate cell concentration in batch culture.
    X0: Initial cell concentration
    mu: Specific growth rate (h^-1)
    t: Time (hours)
    """
    return X0 * np.exp(mu * t)

def yield_coefficient(S0, Xf, P):
    """Calculate biomass and product yields."""
    Yx_s = (Xf - X0) / (S0 - Sf)  # Biomass yield
    Yp_s = P / (S0 - Sf)  # Product yield
    return Yx_s, Yp_s
```

### Applications

- Recombinant proteins: Insulin, antibodies, vaccines
- Biopharmaceuticals: Therapeutic proteins, gene therapy
- Industrial enzymes: Amylases, proteases, lipases
- Biofuels: Ethanol, biodiesel, biogas
- Bioremediation: Pollutant degradation
- Agricultural biotechnology: GM crops, biofertilizers
