Course summary

The project would include the biosynthesis of bioactive molecule surfactants in bioprocess technology systems, including submerged and solid-state fermentation. The materials to be used as the carbon sources be provided by our industrial partner, mainly the residual by-products and waste materials generated in the local distillery. Various other substrates, including residual wastes from the food and agriculture industry, will be explored as suitable economical low-cost materials.
