Acquired knowledge is a basis for further development and design of new biotechnologies.

Good knowledge of microbiology of yeasts and their metabolism, incl. metabolic control. Basic knowledge of cultivation techniques, bioengineering principles of industrial fermentations ( esp. process kinetics, material and energy balance). Basis of sanitation in the fermentation industry.

Not applicable.

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.

Students must know well properties in technology used microorganisms, their metabolism and possibility for physiological control of the process. Important is also selection of medium, nutrients and cultivation technique (reactor). It is necessary to apply well knowledge from bioengineering and chemical engineering in process design and process evaluation (balance of raw materials, nutrients, wayter, energy, waste materials).

1.Biotechnology of organic acids synthesized by microorganisms.
2.Vinegar.
3.Lactic acid,
4.Citric acid,
5.Gluconic acid and other minority acids.
6.Biosynthesis of amino acids. Biosynthesis of vitamins.
7.Enzyme biotechnology.
8.Biosynthesis of intra- and extra-polysaccharides and other biopolymers.
9.Biotechnology of secondary metabolites. Antibiotics.
10.Biosynthesis of lipids.
11.Ergot alkaloids. Giberelins.
12.Oxidation reactions on saccharide molecule ("oxo" compounds, e.g. ascorbic acid).
13.Microbial transformation.
14.Biotechnology in environmental protection.

Not applicable.

The aim of the course is extension of knowledge about microorganism abilities to synthesize simple and complicated molecules, enzymes and polymers. The aim is not to know all details about technology but above all to understand well methods leading to affect the process via changing metabolism of carbon or other nutrients and their control. Strerss is put on construction of productive strains.

Knowledge is assessed both by written and by oral exams. Well written test is prerequisite for oral exam.
