Getting to know the bioprocesses, the type of bioreactors, enlarging the scale of processes, biological methods of sewage treatment, recovery of protein from biomass, safety rules of biotechnology and biorisks
Fundamentals of biotechnology, biology, chemistry.
The lectures Safety in the biotechnology science. The classification microorganisms in terms biorisks. Immobilized enzyme: production and application. Types of bioprocesses: biosynthesis, biotransformation, biohydrolysis, fermentation, bioleaching, biodegradation. Biotechnological reactors: types, principles of action, demands. Criteria change the scale biotechnological processes. Biological methods of wastewater treatment. Microbiology of activated sludge. The recovery of the protein from the biomass produced wastewater. Bioremediation of soils. Isolation of microorganisms from the environment resistant to heavy metals. Composting of waste. Microbial decomposition of materials. Disposal of solid waste.
The Exercises. Microscopic examination of the activated sludge. Biological control methods composting process. Microbial decomposition of materials. Isolation of microorganisms from the environment resistant to heavy metals. Adsorption of metal cations by fungi.
-feeding (lecture in the form of a multimedia presentation)
