Course objectives
At the end of the course, students should be able to work with information on practical applications (in the production of antibiotics and other pharmaceuticals, production of biomass and protein for human nutrition, formulation of plant protection biopreparations); to understand and explain the strategy of experiment designing and various methodological approaches. This course will increase the competence to evaluate their results.
Learning outcomes
Upon completion of the course students will be able to experiment with microscopic fungi, will be familiar with the strategy of experiment planning, methodical approaches and evaluation possibilities, which will improve their ability to critically evaluate their own experiments.
