Technical microbiology is a field that deals with the study and collection of information about microorganisms that are introduced into industrial processes by humans in a conscious manner, as well as those that cause disruptions in their proper course. Volume 2 of this textbook consists of four parts that discuss various aspects of this field in detail. You will find information on microorganisms active in biotechnological processes, such as lactic and acetic acid fermentation bacteria, microorganisms used in the production of amino acids and antibiotics, bacteria of the genus Bacillus, yeasts, filamentous fungi and extremophilic microorganisms. A separate chapter is devoted to viruses and their importance in medicine, industry and environmental protection.

An important element of the textbook is food microbiology, which discusses microbiological contamination of food, the participation of microorganisms in food spoilage, food poisoning and infections, microbiological analysis of food and methods of preserving it. There is also information on food law, the HCCP system and transgenic food. Production hygiene is another important part of the textbook, which presents elements of equipment as a source of microbiological contamination in industry, washing and disinfection in industry, the importance of packaging in maintaining product quality and examining the hygienic condition of production conditions.

The textbook also touches on issues related to environmental protection, discussing microorganisms in environmental protection, environmental pollution of natural origin, xenobiotics, heavy metals, biological methods of environmental purification and genetically modified microorganisms in environmental protection. Technical microbiology is not only a science, but also a practice that is of great importance to many industries.
