Frontiers of Fermentation: Microbes and Microbiomes Laboratory.

Catalog description

Fermentation is a process that requires bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms to produce diverse chemical changes. Gourmands and everyday consumers can quickly name some of the most popular fermented foods and beverages we consume. The course will analyze the role of microbes in production, preservation, and enhancement of materials across a variety of industries and settings. Through hands-on exercises, we will experiment with materials to grow our own microbial environments.
