EN9006 ENVIRONMENTAL BIOTECHNOLOGY L T P C
3 0 0 3
UNIT I INTRODUCTION 5
Principles and concepts of environmental biotechnology—usefullness to mankind,
current status.
UNIT II DETOXIFICATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTANTS 8
Degradation of high concentrated toxic pollutants—halogenated, non-halogenated,
petroleum hydrocarbons, metals. Mechanisms of detoxification—oxidation,
dehalogenation, biotransformation of metals, biodegradation of solid wastes.
UNIT III MICROBIAL TECHNOLOGY FOR WASTE TREATMENT 12
Biotechnological remedies for environmental pollution—decontamination of groundwater
systems, subsurface environment—reclamation concepts—bioremediation. Production
of proteins – biofertilizers. Physical, chemical and microbiological factors of composting
– health risk – pathogens – odour management – Microbial cell/enzyme technology –
adapted microorganisms – biological removal of nutrients – algal biotechnology and
applications in agriculture – role of extracellular polymers. Biogas technology – case
studies.
UNIT IV RECOMBINANT DNA TECHNOLOGY AND GENETIC
APPLICATION 10
Concept of DNA technology – expression vectors – cloning of DNA – mutation –
construction of microbial strains, radioactive probes, protoplast fusion technology –
applications.
UNIT V ETHICAL AND REGULATORY ISSUES 10
Environmental effects and ethics of microbial technology – safety of genetically
engineered organisms – microbial containment – Risk assessment, IPR – patents.
TOTAL: 45 PERIODS
