dc.description.abstractSustainable development is a model that seeks to balance growth, social inclusion, and environmental protection, ensuring present and future well-being. The United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) guide this goal until 2030. Sustainable biotechnology is a branch that refers to the set of tech-niques and processes that use living organisms, their parts, or derivatives to develop products and solutions that provide economic, social, and environmental ben-efits. The growing development of the techniques that use living organisms, alongside the multidisciplinary nature of a career in medicinal biotechnology, under-scores the need for students in this sector to acquire a robust understanding of sustainable biotechnology as a fundamental component of their education. To this end, we propose a class focused on bacteriophages and their added value, covering five laboratory ses-sions: (i) design of a strategy for the recovery, enrich-ment, and isolation of a bacteriophage; (ii) extraction and recovery of bacteriophages from an environ-mental water sample; (iii) bacteriophage enrichment (Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538P, Staphylococcus epidermidis ATCC 1457, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, and E. coli ATCC 8739); (iv) isolation and propagation of bacteriophages; and (v) research on the applicabili-ty of bacteriophages in the field of sustainable devel-opment. The major goals of the present work were (i) to provide students with the necessary tools to adapt protocols in the context of a laboratory class; (ii) to assess the students’ skills to carry out the assays in accordance with the expected results, and (iii) to fos-ter awareness for sustainable development. All assays were performed by students of the B.Sc in Medicinal Biotechnology. The results showed that Escherichia coli ATCC 8739 was the only strain that allowed the isolation of bacteriophages. Overall, these laboratory sessions demonstrated the practical implementation of sustainability concepts while also expanding the knowledge of biotechnological laboratory techniques.eng
