The main aim of the subject is to help the students develop a bio and eco-engineering view when dealing with environmental biotechnologies; furthermore to get familiar with the natural biological – microbiological and plant-assisted processes substantiating these technologies.

The subject includes the theoretical background of environmental bio- and eco-technologies, their practical implementation and evaluation even via case studies targeting amendment of degraded soils and remediation of contaminated environmental elements, primarily solid phase elements (soil, sediment, mud / sludge). Within this topic the focus will be on the ecosystem, especially on microorganisms and primarily on the multilevel interaction between the chemical substances and the environment, especially the chemical substances contaminating the soil and ground water, on the utilisation of the microbiological processes in the environmental technologies, mainly in the bioremediation of contaminated environmental elements and amendment of degraded soils.
