Aim: To give a broad knowledge of microbiology/bacteriology, physiology, genetics and ecology.
|
Contents: Microbial physiology an ecology: Different types of energy metabolism and their interaction with the enviroment. The nitrogen cycle is studied with respect to relevant physiological processes, ecological consequenses and examples of important microorganisms. The microbial degradation of organic matter in biogas production and waste water treatment as well as examples of the degradation of xenobiotics is studied.
Microbial genetics: Mutation, transfer of DNA in between microorganisms and genetic recombination. Examples of the application of genetic engineering in industry.
Practicals are included (about 1/4 of the course) to illustrate microbiological principles and to bring technological experience.
