CME 525

Applied Environmental Biotechnology


Spring 2006 Lecture notes and supplemental material

Lecture: MW 5:15-6:30 304 Addams Hall
 

OFFICE HOURS: Wednesday 1-3 Room 3077 ERF
 
This course provides a review of biological processes involved in the bioremediation of environmental pollutants by microorganisms and plants. This background information will then be developed within the context of applied bioremediation processes for wastewater treatment, soil and sediment bioremediation, and groundwater cleanup.  Students will design a remediation system for selected contaminated sites and present the results in a poster session on the last day of class. The poster session will be similar to one at a professional conference.  An understanding of microbiology and biochemical reactions is required for this class. Students with an interest in more in-depth biochemical reactions and environmental microbiology should take CME 521.
