Learning outcomes |
This course aims to provide students with a set of interdisciplinary knowledge in areas such as microbiology, immobilization of enzymes and cells in bioreactors, food and environmental biotechnology; pulp and paper biotechnology and bio-processing of textile polymers.
At the end of the course students should be able to:
-Apply knowledge in microbiology to different anthropogenic activities associated with the industry.
-Develop skills in the field of industrial biotechnology in order to apply biotechnological tools in areas such as biocatalysis, food biotechnology, environmental biotechnology, textil and pulp and paper industry;
-Understand the present (being implemented) and future (in development) applications of enzymes and processes in the textile and paper industry;
-Develop the ability to use knowledge as a tool of interpretation and intervention in specific situations.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
Theoretical classes: master classes / expositions in which student participation is encouraged, either in person or by videoconference through the ZOOM platform, following the program defined in accordance with the objectives of the discipline.
Practical classes: tutorial classes, guided by a teacher, of mandatory frequency, aimed at deepening some themes taught in the theoretical classes through an experimental approach. These PLs will be in person, exceptionally, some may be presented in a distance format.
The final classification of the teaching-learning period (CEA) is calculated according to the following expression:
CEA = 70% theoretical component + 30% practical component
Note: This formula is valid for calculating the final grade in the case of the exam.
