Applied microbiology is a science that studies microbes and the way they interact with our world. It highlights how the potential of microbes can be harnessed and utilised in areas such as biotechnology, pest control, pharmaceutical applications, etc.
The Master of Applied Microbiology at Nour Bachir University Centre in El Beid is an academic programme that aims to introduce the student to beneficial microbes and make him aware of how to benefit from them as well as harmful ones and the extent of their impact on the environment. This educational programme also aims to teach the student various methods such as pasteurisation, sterilisation and enzyme technology techniques in order to obtain food products such as dairy products or manufactured products, and the use of microbes in the production of antibiotics. The student will also learn about the role of microbes in optimising plant growth.
