EN9006 ENVIRONMENTAL BIOTECHNOLOGY
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
