Principles of product formation in cellular systems: transport of substrates and products, molecular mass, energy and redox balances, kinetics of product formation
Classical microbiological products as biomass, alcohols, acids
Secondary metabolites from microorganisms
Recombinant proteins expressed in bacteria, yeasts, filamentous fungi and animal cells
Preservation of microbial strains and cell lines, cell banking
Metabolic and cell engineering: principles, optimization of metabolic pathways; novel pathways
General cell-culture, cultivation
Cell culture systems for the production of recombinant proteins
Monoclonal antibodies
Viral expression vectors; transient expression
Plant cell cultures and methods of cultivation
Secondary metabolites form plants
Viral expression vectors for plants
Recombinant proteins expressed in plants; molecular pharming, edible vaccines

After having passed this course the students are able to analyse the challenge for the production of different products in biological systems. They can determine the advantages of different cellular systems, and integrate their scientific knowledge into various levels of the production line. They are able to design strategies for reseach and development and assess needs and application potential of products.
You can find more details like the schedule or information about exams on the course-page in BOKUonline.
