This course explores the principles and applications of biological systems in industrial production. It provides a comprehensive understanding of microbial and enzymatic processes used in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, biofuels, food products, and environmental solutions. Students will gain knowledge in

  • Fundamentals of fermentation technology and bioprocess kinetics

  • Selection, improvement, and preservation of industrial microorganisms

  • Design and operation of bioreactors (batch, fed-batch, continuous)

  • Downstream processing: separation, purification, and product recovery

  • Scale-up strategies and process control systems

  • Applications in pharmaceuticals, agriculture, food, and waste treatment
