The journal focuses on applied fundamentals and application of engineering principles to biology-based problems. Initially, fermentation processes, as well as mixing phenomena and aeration with an emphasis on agricultural or food science applications were the major focus. The scale up of antibiotics from fermentation processes was also an active topic of publication.[3]

Biotechnology and Bioengineering publishes Perspectives, Articles, Reviews, Mini-Reviews, and Communications to the Editor that embrace all aspects of biotechnology. In addition to regular submissions, the journal publishes Viewpoints and Virtual Issues on selected research topics such as Bioenergy, Biofuels, Metabolic Engineering, Synthetic Biology, and others.

Elmer Gaden, Jr. was editor-in-chief of the journal from its initial publication until 1983.[4] Daniel I.C. Wang[5][6] and Eleftherios T. Papoutsakis[7] each subsequently held this position. Douglas S. Clark,[8] the current editor-in-chief, has served in this capacity since 1996.

This journal was formerly known as Journal of Biochemical and Microbiological Technology and Engineering (J. Biochem. Microbiol. Technol. Eng.) and first published in February 1959 with ISSN 0368-1467.[9] It adopted its current title in 1962.

According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2016 impact factor of 4.481.
