The purpose of the module is to give a fundamental insight into the organization of the biochemistry on the cellular level and how and when this can be exploited in microbial fermentations.
The project is partially practical including work with one or more cell types (prokaryotic or eukaryotic) in fermentation experiments, where the dynamics and regulation of the cells are investigated.
The project is closely associated to the parallel course in biochemistry, and the fermentation experiments are analyzed based upon the metabolism and known pathways of the cells
An introduction to analytical chemistry relevant to the project (HPLC, GC, etc. ) is given.
