| The main aim of this course is to give students a detailed knowledge of the relationships existing between the physiology of microorganisms used in the industrial field and the design of biotransformation processes. The teaching will therefore be focused on the description of microbial biochemistry and on how it can be exploited in productive processes based on the use of live microorganisms or purified enzymes. In that light, some well-characterized and widely used processes will be studied, such as the production of ethanol (wine, beer) and lactic acid in the dairy industry; therefore, it will be possible to identify the critical parameters of the process, in terms of reaction conditions, microbial vitality and enzymatic efficiency. Main skills developed by the student will be: Knowledge of the molecular mechanisms underlying the activity of the main enzymes of industrial interest. Ability to understand and solve problems concerning enzymatic kinetics. Determination of the kinetic constants of enzymatic and microbial reactions. Ability to determine the factors that influence microbial and enzymatic activity, evaluating the limiting factors and the metabolic needs of microorganisms used in production processes. Acquisition of the terminology typical of industrial microbiology. Integration of the knowledge acquired in the course with those of other fields and through the primary literature. |
