Jacques Monod
Establishes that bacterial growth rate is a saturable function of a single limiting nutrient's concentration, giving biochemical engineering a quantitative kinetic law for cell growth analogous to Michaelis-Menten enzyme kinetics.
Pauline M. Doran
Presents a bioreactor as an ordinary chemical reactor with an unusually fussy, self-replicating catalyst, and works through the mass-transfer and kinetic limits that decide whether a fermentation scales from bench to plant.
