Genetic engineering is the direct manipulation of the genes using biotechnology. The global population expected to reach 9 billion by 2050. For food security, researchers focus on alternative technologies to boost the production of the plants and animals. One of these technologies is using genetic engineering applications to provide extraordinary solutions for securing our needs.

This course aims to help students develop knowledge and understanding related to principles of environmental microbiology; microorganisms and air pollution; microorganisms in soil; water pollution microbiology; water and foodborne pathogens; biodegradation of hazardous chemicals; biodegradation/ bioremediation /adsorption technology for decontamination of heavy metals and learning the functions and applications of microorganisms in agriculture for fertility improvement and biocontrol of pests; learning the role and applications of microorganisms for bioremediation of polluted and deteriorated environments; learning the principles for the productions of microbial biomass. The course will also correlate the gained knowledge to applied fields such as agriculture, industry and biotechnology. The practical exercises allow the student to apprehend some biochemical and molecular biological techniques. The exercises are designed to provide a hands-on context for the topics being presented in the course lectures.
