Learning outcomes: • be able to apply modern mathematical methods to solve practical problems related to the study and design of biotechnological processes. Use knowledge of physics to analyze biotechnological processes; • be able to calculate the composition of nutrient media, determine the features of their preparation and sterilization, to control the quality of raw materials and finished products based on knowledge of the physical and chemical properties of organic and inorganic substances; • be able to determine and analyze the basic physicochemical properties of organic compounds that are part of biological agents (proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, lipids); • be able to make basic nutrient media for growing various biological agents. Evaluate the growth of biological agents in media of different composition; • be able to conduct experimental research to determine the impact of physicochemical and biological environmental factors on the viability of cells of living organisms; • be able to justify the choice of biological agent, the composition of the nutrient medium and method of cultivation, the necessary ancillary works and the main stages of the technological process methods and methods of cultivation, biosynthesis, biotransformation, bioindication and biotesting of biological objects; • based on knowledge of the laws of mechanical, hydromechanical, heat and mass transfer processes and basic design features, be able to choose the appropriate equipment in the design of biotechnological and pharmaceutical industries to ensure their maximum efficiency for organization, research and modernization of biotechnological industries and set tasks for current repairs production equipment; • be able to calculate the main criteria for evaluating the effectiveness of the biotechnological process (growth parameters of biological agents, the rate of synthesis of the target product, the synthesizing capacity of biological agents, economic coefficient, yield of the target product from the substrate, productivity, nutrient value, etc.).
