Course detail

Laboratory classes in biotechnology

FCH-MC_BIO_PAcad. year: 2011/2012

The students obtain the practical experience by the determination and maintainance of microorganisms. They perform the testing of different ways of cultivation of selected strains of microorganisms. They investigate the production of some primary and secondary metabolites. The contents of exercise is immobilization and consecutive characterization of biotechnologically important enzymes.
