Training, seminar for university staff by Professor Nils Birkeland

At the Department of Biotechnology between 17.11 to 29.11 series of lectures and seminars were conducted by a visiting professor from the University of Bergen (Norway) Nils Birkeland, who is a known specialist in the field of applied microbiology, namely, he works with thermophilic bacteria using them in Biotechnology. In addition, his work is aimed at identifying molecular adaptation to extreme temperatures using extremophilic microorganisms from various environments, an in-depth understanding of the enormous natural microbial diversity in extreme habitats, elucidating the mechanisms and regulation of the biological oxidation of methane, metagenomics to gain knowledge about the survival and evolution of Shigella-like bacteria.

Today Niels gave us a lecture on the use of thermophilic bacteria in production. It was pleasure for Instructors of the Department of Biotechnology to listen to Professor Nils Birkeland.
