Course Syllabus
Introduction to environmental biology
Basic components of environment
Concept of ecosystem, abiotic and biotic components. Environmental pollution: Air, water, and soil pollution.
Environmental monitoring: environmental impacts and their assessments using bioindicators,
Biomarkers, biosensors and toxicity testing Air, water and soil sampling
Analyses of samples by physical, chemical and biological methods.
Waste treatment strategies
Classification and characterization of waste
Principles and mechanisms of waste treatment
Nitrification and denitrification – microbial fundamentals and application
Aerobic processes: Activated sludge, oxidation ditches, trickling filters, towers, rotating discs, rotating drums, oxidation ponds.
Anaerobic processes: Anaerobic digestion, anaerobic filters, up flow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor.
Economics and special aspects of waste treatment
Examples of treatment schemes for waste waters of dairy, tannery, sugar and antibiotic industry
Biotechnology in reduction of CO2 emission
Environmental Forensic
Introduction and applications of environmental forensic
Principles and methods of chemical fingerprinting(crude oil and refined products) Forensic techniques used in environmental litigation
Environmental forensic microscopy Case studies in environmental forensic
Biodegradation and bioremediation
Principle and mechanism of biodegradation,
Biodegradation of xenobiotic compounds (Lignin, Hydrocarbons, Detergents, Dyes and pesticides)
Phytoremediation: Use of plants for removal of organic and metallic pollutants
Microbial interaction with metallic elements, metal toxicity, molecular mechanism of metal resistance and metal extraction
Biosurfactants: Microbial production and application Biodetorioration – Principles, prevention and control
Environmental protection and conservation
Status and Scope of biotechnology in environmental protection. Non-conventional energy sources.
Various environmental standards: air, water and noise quality. Environment protection Act: environmental laws, policies, ethics. Environmental protection agencies.
