BIOL 341L Microbial Processes Laboratory

Credits: (0-1) 1

Most of the sustainable and environmental friendly processes used for food processing, site remediation, and biofuel synthesis using nonfood organic wastes rely on biological systems. In this context, this laboratory courses provides hands-on experience in microbial culture techniques used in various industrial sectors e.g., fermentation, metabolic engineering, techniques, functional type growth media preparation; enrichment and isolation of indigenous microorganisms; microbial production of biofuels and value-added products including industrial potential enzymes, bioethanol, biogas, and exopolysaccharides; and bioremediation.

Prerequisites: CHEM 106L or CHEM 112L
