The Master in Agro-industrial Microbiology focuses its knowledge interest on the evaluation of the potential of microorganisms in agro-industrial processes, its interdisciplinary nature demands knowledge and state-of-the-art technologies, derived from the scientific advances related to these fields of knowledge.
The curricular structure of the program includes the updating and investigation of phenomena related to the following aspects:
- Isolation, identification, selection and conduct of biochemical, serological and molecular studies of microorganisms of agro-industrial interest.
- Study of microorganisms in the areas of: biological control, soil nutrient recycling, bio- fertilizing microorganisms (Rhizobium, a-symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria), bacteria of importance in digestive processes in animals, biological use of agro-industrial waste, bioremediation, microbial diversity studies, biotechnological studies, among others.
- Formulation and preservation of microbial inoculants of agro-industrial importance.
- Obtaining biomass and compounds of agro-industrial interest through bioprocesses.
- Evaluation and control of fermentations through the integration of microbiological and physic-chemical variables.
The approach of these phenomena requires scientific foundation, application of technology, integration of theories and methods from different areas such as microbiology, biochemistry, molecular biology, statistics, and mathematics, for the adequate understanding of the object of study.
