Vorlesung: Mikrobiologie für Verfahrenstechniker(innen)
Dozentin: Prof. Katja Bühler

Beginn: derzeit nur im Sommersemster
Wo: TU Dresden, ZINT Campus (Bergstrasse 120)


Diese Vorlesung baut auf der Veranstaltung "Allgemeine Mikrobiologie" auf. Sie behandelt im ersten Teil den Abbau organischer und anorganischer Verbindungen und gibt einen Überblick über die häufigsten Gärungstypen immer im Zusammenhang mit biotechnologischen Anwendungen. Im zweiten Teil geht darum zu verstehen, wie man von einer Idee zu einem gewünschten Produkt kommt. Es werden Grundlagen in bakterieller Genetik vermittelt und aktuelle Techniken der Gentechnik behandelt.
