1.
Outline
The lecture mainly explains the industrial application on fermented foods, functional foods, antibiotics, agrochemicals, and industrial enzymes that utilize the microorganism functionality (DP1, DP2).

2.
Objectives
Students can understand fermented foods, functional foods, antibiotics, agrochemicals, and industrial enzymes that utilize the microorganism functionality.

3.
Grading Policy
Grading is determined with the final examination (100 %). Attendance more than 2/3 is necessary to take the examination. Reexamination is not going to be held. Feedback on the test will be conducted after the final lecture.
4.
Textbook and Reference
The lecture will be conducted with handouts.
5.
Requirements (Assignments)
Before the lecture, please examine the content of the syllabus (30 min). Lecture will be conducted according to handouts. After the lecture, please find new information on your interested fields by using books or internet (1 hour).
