Detail předmětu
Advanced Molecular Biotechnology
FCH-DAO_MOBAk. rok: 2021/2022
The course is focused on exploatation of molecular biotechnology in construction of genetically modified organisms, particularly plants. Some part is focused on the use of transgenic plants and animals for enhancing the quality of foods and on their use as bioreactors for production of important compounds. Attention is focused on the safety of foods with GMO for men´s health and environment.
