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 |
Continuous assessment - The final classification of the teaching-learning period (CEA) is calculated according to the following expression:
CEA = 70% theoretical component + 30% practical component.
Weighting of the practical part: sum of all the work to be carried out in this UC, and the student must obtain a minimum average classification of 9.50 in the work of the different components: (A1 + B1 + B2 +A2 + B3 + B4)/ 6
with A1 and A2 being components of Microbiology applied to industrial processes and Food Biotechnology and B1, B2, B3 and B4 being the remaining components according to the program.
Weighting of the theoretical component:
(1*14% of item A1 + 2*18% of item B1,2) +(1*14% of item A2 + 2*18% of item B3,4)
