Prospect and trend of fermentation engineering

Fermentation engineering is a comprehensive and high-tech interdisciplinary subject, which is widely used in biological engineering, food engineering, chemical engineering, medical engineering and other fields. In the future, fermentation engineering will continue to play its important role and tend to the following directions:

1. directed microbial transformation and genetic engineering technology

Through directional microbial transformation and genetic engineering technology, microorganisms can synthesize useful substances more efficiently in the fermentation process, thus realizing industrial production.

2. Study on new fermentation technology.

Aiming at the problems of difficult product separation and high energy consumption in industrial production, the research on new fermentation technology will become an important research direction.

3. Application of intelligent fermentation process control technology

Intelligent fermentation process control technology can realize real-time control of various parameters in microbial fermentation process, thus optimizing the efficiency and quality of fermentation production, which will become one of the development directions of fermentation engineering in the future.

4. Develop new biomaterials

Microorganisms in fermentation engineering can not only produce useful chemicals, but also synthesize various new biomaterials, such as biodegradable materials and medical biomaterials. The research of these new biomaterials will become a hot spot in the future.

5. Environmental pollution control

Microbes in fermentation engineering can control environmental pollution well, and fermentation waste can make its own contribution to environmental protection and sustainable development as high-quality fertilizer.
