Overview
Microbial physiologists, metabolic engineers and (bio)process engineers from the faculty staff, together with invited (inter)national experts from other universities and industry, will offer a combination of lectures, exercises and demonstration experiments. In this way, the course will present an intensive and in-depth treatment of the state of the art.
Learning outcomes
At the same time, the Microbial Physiology and Fermentation Technology course at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) provides the necessary link between, on one hand, fundamental subjects (e.g. stochiometry/kinetics of metabolic networks, physiology/systems biology) and, on the other hand, applications for design of microorganisms and and optimization of large-scale biotechnological processes.
Programme Structure
The lectures are mainly scheduled in the mornings and the early evenings. In the lectures, attention will be paid to the following themes:
- Energy transduction and growth thermodynamics
- Kinetics and stoichiometry of growth and product formation
- Regulation of metabolism by environmental parameters
- High-cell density fermentation
- Metabolic networks: stoichiometry and fluxes
- Rate based design
- Regulation and control of metabolic fluxes
- Metabolic engineering
- Heterogeneity and mixed cultures
- Capita selecta
Audience
This Advanced Course is aimed at professionals (MSc, PhD or equivalent experience) in microbiology, biochemistry or biochemical engineering with a basic working knowledge of the two other disciplines. The course is primarily aimed at those already employed in industry who wish to up-date their theoretical knowledge and practical insight in this field.
