Our section brings together people interested in the wider microbiology, including bacteria and yeasts and their practical application. An important element of the work of the Section is the project BioWar, which focuses on methods for isolation of unique yeast strains for use in fermentation processes, with a particular emphasis on brewing.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nProjects:<\/p>\n
Project \u201cBioWar\u201d<\/strong> realized by the Microbiology section of the student association IKNP \u201cPlaneta\u201d is the biggest student project to ever take place in the history of our University. The Project started at the end of the summer semester during my 2nd year of studies, a little over 1 year ago. The main object of our project was to isolate and characterize wild yeast strains from nature and select them based on their capacity to ferment wort into beer.<\/p>\nDuring the course of the project, students were able to acquire the necessary funds to purchase equipment needed to develop selected yeast strains on a commercial scale. Furthermore, thanks to an alliance developed between our project and a PhD student at the University of Rzes\u00f3w, we were able to learn how to grow yeast optimally in a 60-liter bioreactor.<\/p>\n
