CBE 741 Microbial and Enzymatic Processing

Credits: (3-0) 3

Most of the processes used for energy generation including bioconversion of biomass, food processing, pollution control, rely not only on physico-chemical but also on biological reactions. This course introduces various renewable energy resources, processes, and products, emphasizing critical aspects and challenges of biomass conversion into biofuels and value-added bioproducts especially using extremophiles and their enzymes. Students are expected to learn both fundamental and applied aspects of microbial and enzymatic processing through scientific literature and case studies focusing on the current trends in the field.

Prerequisites: BIOL 341 , BIOL 331  or permission of instructor.
