Syllabus
Obiettivi Formativi
The learning outcomes are the following:
- understanding and critically reviewing the biotec processes involved in biorefineries through the comprehension of scientific texts (in English) and experimental data analysis
- using knowledge to evaluate the aims and/or the potentials of microbial process to convert renewable biomasses and generate added-value products respecting the environment
- applying the knowledge in the field of microbial biotechnology to industrial processes
- demonstrating effective communication skills with the experts using appropriate terminology
- demonstrating attitude to working in interdisciplinary groups

Prerequisiti
Basic knowledge of Biochemistry, Fermentation, Microbiology and Molecular Biology (generally acquired during the bachelor)
Metodi didattici
Lessons by the professor, by the visiting professors, by the experts during visiting biorefineries and plants. Students will be invited to read and comments papers during the lessons.
Verifica Apprendimento
The examination is an oral exam. The aim is evaluating if the student has acquired the knowledge on main pathways and production processes for biofuels, biooils, bioplastics, bioelectricity, biogas and biohydrogen and bioplastics. Students have to demonstrate a multidisciplinary and applicative attitude and an appropriate terminology. Students will have to answer to three questions, each of one can contribute for a third of the final score. The final score is is given in 30ies: the examination is successful if a score ≥ 18/30 is gained.
Contenuti
48 hours class including one or two trips (10 hours on site lessons and visits) visiting biogas and/or bioethanol and/or bioplastic production plants. The program includes seminars by experts including Erasmus teachers from University of Chemistry and Technology of Prague.
Subjects:
Introduction to the concept of biorefineries, white biotechnology, circular economy, energy from renewable sources, waste recycling, reduction of carbon dioxide emission.
Microbes, enzymes, genes and processes to produce bioethanol, biobutanol, biodiesel, biogas, biohydrogen, bioplastics, bioelectricity.
Microbial and algae factories and plants and microbial fuels cells.

Lingua Insegnamento
The course is fundamental to an-up-to-date preparation of a student in industrial biotechnology. The goal is providing a thorough understanding of the modern concept of biorefineries, integrating knowledge of fundamental principles, terminology, methodology, and processes to produce biofuels, biogas, biohydrogen, bioplastics, bioelectricity and bio-oils using the metabolic diversity of microorganisms. Microbial processes will be integrated in the frame of circular economy for the conversion of recalcitrant biomasses in added-value products. Students will learn the state-of-the-art in techniques for the exploitation of microbial metabolic pathways for sustainable energy production from renewable sources and environmental protection. The course is based on theoretical lessons and meetings with experts in biogas production, biofuels production, algae factories, bioplastic production plants. Onsite visits to production plants are planned and onsite lessons and interviews will create a network between students and experts in the field.
