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.
