The so-called bioengineering is generally considered to be based on the theory and technology of biology (especially molecular biology, microbiology, genetics, biochemistry and cytology), combined with modern engineering technologies such as chemical engineering, machinery and computer, and make full use of the latest achievements of molecular biology.
It is a new technology that consciously manipulates genetic material, directionally transforms organisms or their functions, creates new species with ultra-long-distance characteristics in a short time, and then cultivates this "engineering bacteria" or "engineering cell line" on a large scale through a suitable bioreactor to produce a large number of useful metabolites or exert its unique physiological functions.
Bioengineering:
Bioengineering is a combination of molecular genetics, microbiology, cell biology, biochemistry, chemical engineering and energy science, and its application range is very wide, including medicine, food, agriculture, forestry, horticulture, chemical industry, metallurgy, petroleum production, new technology of fermentation tank and new substrate environmental protection. Many existing industries based on microbiology have been improved through genetic engineering and utilization, and at the same time, social problems such as environmental pollution have been alleviated.
In the near future, photobioreactor and biofuel will be realized, and lignocellulose and other complex but renewable substrates will become raw materials for fermentation industry, and may also provide starting materials for plastic industry and polymer industry. It can be said that genetic engineering and cell engineering are the basis of bioengineering, recombinant DNA technology and enzyme immobilization technology are the two most distinctive and potential technologies in bioengineering, while fermentation engineering and cell and tissue culture technology are relatively mature and widely used technologies.
