title: Fermentation monitoring and process control.
abstract: During the past year, several papers describing the potential of new sensor devices for application in real bioprocesses have been published. Biosensors, optical sensors, and immunosensors are all gaining in importance. At present, the development of correct/adequate interfacing of biosensors to bioprocesses is the major limitation on progress. On the basis of new analytical data, a more precise modeling and control of fermentations can now be performed. Recent research efforts attest to the increasing importance of this area in biotechnology.
