Annotation -
The subject includes the complex perception of traditional microbial biotechnologies such as ethanol production, bakery yeast and microbial biomass cultivation, microbial production of organic acids and others. Each technology comprises feedstock processing, microorganism and its requirements on growth and production of metabolites, process design (unit operations), separation plus purification techniques and waste processing. Legislation of individual processes is also covered.

Aim of the course -

Students will orientate in problematics of traditional microbial technologies, will understand basic common structure of all these technologies and could design general bioprocess. They will obtain rather complex insight into given topic than knowing details of individual technologies.
