These fundamental biological processes are a rich resource for cutting-edge research and applications in biotechnology, including the growing field of synthetic biology.You will conduct structured laboratory research and desktop analyses to explore, evaluate and communicate insights into core concepts in microbiology, their functional interactions in the environment, and their exploitation in agriculture, bioindustry and the built environment. Through this, you will build understanding and skills in project planning, technical communication, and experimental design, conduct, and analysis, to address real world applications and prepare you for a key area of post-graduate employment.","title-full":"BVB305 Microbiology and the Environment","title-short":"Microbiology and the Environment","url":{"current":"https://qutvirtual4.qut.edu.au/group/student/enrolment/units/unit?unitCode=BVB305&year=2025","prospective":"https://www.qut.edu.au/study/unit?unitCode=BVB305","timetable":"https://qutvirtual3.qut.edu.au/qvpublic/ttab_unit_search_p.process_teach_period_search?p_unit_cd=BVB305"},"year":2025,"years":[2024,2025]}
