Summary
The course Application of microorganisms in biotechnology summarizes possibilities of utilization of microorganisms in traditional biotechnology. It deals with fermentation techniques (bioreactors, culture conditions), defines and describes microorganisms with industrial use. It also provides comprehensive information on the application of a particular species of microorganism in industry (e.g. food, pharmaceutical, wood processing, etc.), while does not forget about environmental protection (wastewater treatment, bioremediation).
