This course will explore the impact that microbes have in their
natural environment, and the diverse applications in biotechnology.
Students will delve into the roles of microbes in water treatment,
agriculture, food production, medicine, air quality, and toxic waste
remediation. The course includes hands-on activities such as
investigating microbial fermenters, examining plant-microbe
interactions, and will also explore the concepts behind cutting-edge
technologies like CRISPR and synthetic biology. By the end of the
course, students will appreciate the essential role of microbial
biochemistry in natural systems and its potential to address
real-world challenges. Join us on this microscopic adventure and
discover how mighty microbes can change the world!
