Major: Food Quality Management and Analysis
Study Type: second cycle
Course type: optional
Study Semester: 2
ECTS points: 1
Hours (Lectures / Tutorials / Other): 15 / 0 / 0
Lecturer: prof. dr hab. Danuta Witkowska
Language of instruction: Polish
Learning outcomes: Knowledge: Student know the production, regulation of biosynthesis and application of microbial enzymes (amylases, cellulases, xylanases, proteinases, lipases) and some antibiotics (aminoglycosides, non-polien macrolides, polien macrolides, tetracyclines). Skills: The student analyzes the biosynthesis process of enzymes involving micro-organisms-assesses the ability of micro-organisms for the production of antibiotics – decides on appropriate methods of breeding-selects the optimal conditions of these processes.
Competences: The student demonstrates understanding of the synthesis processes of active metabolites in nature – is aware of their beneficial and harmful effects on living organisms.
Prerequisites: Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, Microbiology
Course content: Production, regulation of biosynthesis and application of microbial enzymes (amylases, cellulases, xylanases, proteinases, lipases) and some antibiotics (aminoglycosides, non-polien macrolides, polien macrolides, tetracyclines).
