Molecular and Engineering Concepts of Microbiology

MAECOM (Molecular and Engineering concepts of Microbiology) is the recent modified approach to understand and to study microbiology at its very complex environment with increasing population and pollution. The author met microbes at his design (unit operational) development to measure continuously B.O.D (Biological Oxygen demand) in a draft tube air lift flui-dized bubble column bioreactor-, when the author was in the Technical University Berlin, Germany in 1975 to complete his thesis related to " Dipl.-Ing/ ME/Ph.D ". At that material time the author could sense the power of microbes in degradation of waste, but could not understand their unpredictable clever dominating attitude in a bio-reactors. Today Microbial engineering become a major part of chemical engineering course in MIT- USA and other developed countries. Developed countries have already recognized the enormous potentialities of microbes in pioneering the engineering and scientific innovations. Prof. Louise Pasteur once said.." not to underestimate the power of microbes". So it is essential that all scientists and engineers should know microbes at molecular and engineering boundaries.
