Philippines society.
 V. Course Number: BIO 309A
Course Title: Industrial Microbiology

VI. Semester Offered/SY: 1st Semester, 2018-2019

VII. Description: Industrial Microbiology is a 3-unit lecture and laboratory course which introduces principles and practices in the main applications of micro-organisms to the industrial
production of foods, pure chemicals, proteins, other useful products and processes involved in industrial fermentation. It develops to apply the techniques used in the different phases of
industrial microbiology: discovery, production (including fermentation), bioprocessing and cell banking.

VIII. Course/Subject Unit: 2 units lecture, 1 unit laboratory

Time Allotment: 2hrs/week lecture for 18 weeks (36 hrs.) and 3 hrs/week laboratory (54 hrs.)
Pre-requisite/s: General Biology I and II, General Microbiology, Analytical Microbiology, Bacteriology

IX. CourseOutcomes:
At the end of the course, the student must:
1. describe the main steps and processes used to produce biological products in industry
2. discover new useful microorganisms and store them reliably for later use
3. understand ethical and commercial issues such as record keeping, confidentiality, patenting, and licensing
4. perform microbiological investigations, observe and evaluate the data obtained, and report the findings accurately and precisely
5. undertake an independent investigation to propose microbiological options for developing a new production a large-scale commercial basis
