BIO 3447 - Industrial Microbiology

Credits: 4 hrs
This course is a comprehensive look at the growing and extraction of bacteria and fungi for use in industrial applications through the focused use of enzymes. The principles of genetics and physiology are used in connection with microbial agents so as to create possibilities for extraordinary results in hard surface cleaning, oil spills, carpet cleaning, wastewater treatment, odor control, and other similar applications without the production of related hazardous wastes through the harnessing and use of enzymes. Lectures will focus on the manner in which enzymes can be employed to carry out specific tasks that relate to industrial uses.
