| Course Contents | ||
| Description of genetics and biotechnology, fields, importance, effects to our life and a brief hisrory of genetics and biotechnology. Origination of modern genetic science: Mendel hypotesis, hybridization, deviations from Mendel hypothesis, cytoplasmic inheritance. Natural selections, adaptations, mutations. Molecular biology. Gene technology: molecular genetics. Human genetics and genetic disorders. Populational, scientific nad technological opportunities of genetic engineering. Essential principles of biotechnology: microorganism metabolism, plant-animal cell cultures, fermantation and fermantation technology, basic procedures in biotechnology. Biotechnological applications: production of microbial biomass (baker’s yeast, single cell proteins), production of primer metabolites (citric acid, fumaric acid, acetic acid, aminoacid, vitamin), fermentation (alcoholic fermentation, production of lactic acid, butyric acid, buthanol, acetone), production of seconder metabolites (antibiotics), enzyme production, gene biotechnology, environmental biotechnology. | ||
