| The students will understand the changes which are caused by such processes in outer environment and they will obtain a survey on an applicability of microbial processes for bioremediation of contaminated sites. Furthermore, the subject involves the studies of in situ and ex situ technologies applicable for decontamination of polluted sites and summarizes the possibilities of targeted supports of microbial activities. |
