Course detail
Mikrobiology in Food Industry
FCH-DCO_PMAcad. year: 2020/2021
Students will be familiarized with taxonomy of microorganisms, morphology and physiology of microbial cells, metabolic strategies of industrially relevant microorganisms, regulation of metabolism of industrial microorganisms, microbial kinetics, microbial stress response, adaptation strategies of microorganisms, physiology and metabolism of extremophiles, purpose oriented behavior of microorganisms (quorum sensing, biofilm formation, mutagenesis) and also advanced techniques for analysis of microbial cells (such as single cell analysis).
