Fermentation engineering is a two disciplines under the first-class discipline of light industry technology and engineering. Fermentation engineering is an important part of bioengineering, a key high technology in China and the key to the industrialization of bioengineering technology. Fermentation engineering is a frontier biological high-tech discipline based on pure cell culture technology, which controls the key enzymes of cell metabolism by manipulating genetic materials, and realizes large-scale cell culture by using modern biochemical macromolecule separation and purification technology and corresponding modern equipment, so as to obtain various physiologically active substances. Its industrial relevance involves medicine, agriculture, chemical industry, light industry, food and environmental protection. Fermentation engineering is the core technology of bioengineering and the bridge to realize the industrialization of pharmaceutical bioengineering and agricultural bioengineering.
