Environmental Biotechnology
Description
Use of microbial systems for bioremediation and energy production; study microorganisms as environmental contaminants. Study microbiological concepts and practices particularly related to environmental engineering and science. Discussion of new technologies and genomic approaches that can be applied to enhance efficiency and productivity of biological processes and solve environmental problems.Learning Outcomes
Describe the role of microorganisms in processes such as detoxifying contaminated water and soil to reclaim lost resources, converting diffuse energy in waste to form easily used by society, and clean drinking waterExplain how environmental/engineering conditions can be manipulated to enhance or retard the above processes
Critically analyze and investigate industrial applications of the above concepts
Develop a basic understanding of the microbiology and molecular biology tools that can be applied to evaluate the role of microorganisms in environmental systems
