Learning outcomes
|
The objective of the course is to demonstrate the applied potential of algae for human population which includes the production of food and feed, carbon sequestration, wastewater treatment, application in agriculture, and production of various specialized chemicals or pharmacology and biotechnology. Lectures should show a specific biotechnological solutions for mass production of algae and their down-stream processing, but also modern applications of algae, including their metabolic engineering and the production of highly valuable substances.
