Bioproduction and valorization of microbial biodiversity

A teaching module oriented towards the professional world, with general introductions on pre-defined themes targeting the biotechnological valorization of microorganisms (antimicrobials, microbiota, probiotics, applied virology, etc.) followed by presentations by industrialists who come to present their background, their company and/or the development of a project. This course covers both red biotechnologies (health applications) and the other colors of biotechnologies (green/agronomy, blue/marine, white/industrial, yellow/environmental).

To make students discover the fields in which industrial projects can be developed, to allow them to know the course of industrialists and to initiate contacts with the business world.

Theoretical and technical knowledge in microbiology and biotechnology

Recommended prerequisites:

Knowledge in ecology, microbial biodiversity

Knowledge is tested by means of a continuous assessment (CCI) in the form of a project that includes both oral presentations and summary sheets, and in the form of a final test.
