    GUJARAT TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY

    Bachelor of Engineering
    Subject Code: 3131302
    Semester – III
    Subject Name: Environmental Microbiology and Bioremediation

    Type of course: Engineering Science

    Prerequisite: None

    Rationale: Microorganisms not play a very important role in treatment and disposal of wastes but also are
    responsible for spreading many diseases. Hence a working knowledge of microbiology forms a base for
    other core subjects of environmental engg.
