Period

II semestre dal Mar 3, 2014 al Jun 13, 2014.

Learning outcomes

The course is designed to deepen the theoretical basis and the criteria for the application of microbial systems to the production of compounds of economic interest, to energy recovery and production, to waste treatment and environmental detoxification. Based on the wealth of information acquired while attending previous classes of microbiology content, students will address issues relating to the properties of microorganisms, both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, including bacteria, archaebacteria, yeasts, filamentous fungi and - in a distinct position because of their non-cell structure – viruses, in relation to potential technological applications. Microorganisms will be mainly analyzed as biological catalysts of specific biosynthetic reactions and/or degradations, carried out either in a confined environments (bioreactors) or in open context, focusing on the actions aimed at controlling and optimizing the processes of interest.

Program

SYLLABUS – 1. Back references to microbial diversity and taxonomy ; 2. Proteins production in bacteria and yeasts ; 3. Single-cell proteins ; 4. Insecticides of microbial origin ; 5. Enzymes of microbial origin ; 6. Microbial Polysaccharides e polyesters ; 7. Microbial degradation of biopolymers: cellulose and lignin ; 8. Microbial production of amino acids ; 9.

Attendance modes and venues

As stated in the Didactic Regulations, there is no generalised obligation of attendance. Individual lecturers are, however, free to require a minimum number of hours of attendance for eligibilitỳ for the profit exam of the teaching they teach. In such cases, attendance of teaching activities is monitored in accordance with procedures communicated in advance to students.

Part-time enrolment is permitted. Find out more on the Part-time enrolment possibilities page.

The course's teaching activities take place in the Science and Engineering area, which is composed of the buildings of Ca‘ Vignal 1, Ca’ Vignal 2, Ca' Vignal 3 and Piramide, located in the Borgo Roma cluster, and Villa Lebrecht and Villa Eugenia located in the San Floriano di Valpolicella cluster. 
Lectures are held in the classrooms of Ca‘ Vignal 1, Ca’ Vignal 2 and Ca' Vignal 3, while practical exercises take place in the teaching laboratories dedicated to the various activities.
