The implementation of efficient biotechnological production processes is strongly dependent on a sound understanding of all their relevant aspects: metabolic physiology, equipment engineering, separation techniques, modeling, material properties, etc. The quantitative and qualitative course of material and energy flows in organisms and in the whole production plant is an essential criterion for successful commercialization of biotechnological products. Biotechnological processes are still, to a great extent, designed regardless of thermodynamic fundamentals and are therefore mostly based on kinetic approaches, empirical rules and experience. However, as a method to describe conditions and processes of complex systems, thermodynamics offers an excellent supplement to kinetic and stoichiometric approaches, experience and intuition by well-founded scientific rules.
