LEARNING OUTCOMES
- define and explain the role/importance of certain cell type, the composition of cell culture media, cell growing conditions and cell product in a technological process with animal and plant cells
- explain the need for and type of genetic modification needed for development of a cell type with desired properties.
- distinguish and explain the choice of bioreactor and cultivation conditions, depending on the cell type and the final product
- describe and categorize the key parameters for biotechnological production of secondary metabolites using plant cell culture
- conduct and review a simple laboratory work that involves setting up and maintaining small scale animal cell culture and plant tissue
- interpretation of basic growth parameters during animal or plant cell cultivation.
