Description
This course discusses the commercial applications of bioprocesses to environmental problems. The principles of microbial sensing and adaption to extreme environments, as discussed in Environmental Microbiology (MICR3071), are expanded in the bioremediation of polluted environments and the recovery of important minerals and precious metals. Similarly, the application of microorganisms in other key environmental areas of biodeterioration, biomineralogy, biosensors, biofuels, biodegradable plastics, waste and water treatment and biocontrol are also discussed in this course.
