Process Biotechnology practice has advanced substantially in more recent years. The advancements have taken place not only with microbes or microbial systems but also with mammalian, animal and plant cell culture process biotechnology systems. For protecting these advancements by contributors various concerns of patenting has been presented in brief for this field.

Unique major features of the book include, Patenting concerns of life forms for process biotechnology, Cell redesigning methods and associated concerns, Impressive progress coverage of advanced topics, Thermophilic bioprocessing, Containment requirements in process biotechnology using GMO, Apoptotic phenomena in bioreactor for bioprocessing, Highlights of technical challenges for recovery/separation of products, In vivo- Ex vivo membrane phenomena in cellular process biotechnology, Application of ANN in bioprocess control, Extractive bioconversion, Advances in Biosensors, Importances of cross linking agents in stabilizing biochemicals, Miscellaneous industrial bioproducts etc.
