As a central part of the course, the study of the industrial applications of some of the molecules produced by these microorganisms was addressed, as well as applications of the microorganisms themselves in environmental recovery processes (removal of heavy metals, bioremediation of brines, etc. ) and treatment of saline wastewater and brine from desalination plants.

Aspects related to the microbiology, molecular biology and biochemistry of these microorganisms were discussed, to later understand how they could be used in industrial processes (pharmaceutical, cosmetic, water treatment and bioremediation of brines and soils).
