Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
The students will be able to
1. design, carry out, analyze and report experimental procedures in wet-lab
regarding biological phenomena and bioprocesses
2. interpret certain metabolic pathways and adapt methods to analyze and
engineer those for novel products and for better efficiency
3. apply modern techniques of measurements, analysis, and control at different levels of examinations (molecular, single cell, population, reactor, process, plant)
4. master practical application of common equipment to produce and apply
biotechnical materials and compounds (cells and enzymes and their products)
5. apply their theoretical knowledge and practical skills to develop processes
and products and solve typical problems related to these

CONTENT, ASSESSMENT AND WORKLOAD
Content
Valid 01.08.2020-31.07.2022:
The objective of the course is to give an overall picture of fermentation in laboratory and pilot scale. The course has two laboratory works: 1) Laboratory-scale fermentation of a recombinant protein, protein purification and protein analysis. 2) Pilot scale fermentation of a sugar alcohol and downstream processing. The students will learn how to use different laboratory equipment for fermentation, downstream processing, quantification of processes, and protein purification with various analyses.
Assessment Methods and Criteria
Valid 01.08.2020-31.07.2022:
Pre-exam of lab instructions, activity in laboratory works, group work activity, report writing, presentation quality.
