BIOL4013

Course Descriptions

Environmental biotechnology is an integrated approach which employs organisms for solving environmental problems such as soil contamination, air and water pollution, and fuel shortage. This laboratory based course aims to teach students advanced biotechnological skills such as bioassays, cytotoxicity tests, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), cell culture techniques and fermentation techniques for environmental applications such as bioremediation, wastewater treatment, biofuel production, pollutant detection, and microorganism identification and characterization. Upon finishing the course, students should have acquired the mentioned biotechnological skills which will enable them to synthesize knowledge to solve environmental problems and pursue postgraduate studies in the field of Environmental Biotechnology or related subjects.
