| The goal | The subject of this course are the most important technologies for production of industrially and commercially valuable chemicals, based on catalytic activity of microorganisms and enzymes. Specific properties of applied biocatalyst and important physicochemical properties of final product will be studied, since thorough knowledge of these process factors is prerequisite for successful development and control of industrial processes, as well as downstream processing. | |||
| The outcome | During this course students will gain knowledge of biotechnological production of number of industrially important chemicals, such as organic acids, organic solvents and amino acids. During learning particular biotechnology all stages in developing succesfull biotechnology (biocatalyst selection, optimization of growth substrate composition, optimization of process conditions, selection of bioreactor type and selection of downstream processing method) will be studied. | |||
