Aim: To give the students a basic knowledge of microorganisms and their molecular biology. To give the students such knowledge of the methods and results in microbiology that they are able to read publication in microbiology. In the experimental part the basic principles for handling biological materials (cells and macromolecules) is taught. Because the focus is on environmental and industrial angles, the aim of the couse is to support and illustrate the topics presented in the theoretical part.
| |
Contents: In the theoretical part the following topics are covered: Terminology and taxonomic principles of microbiology, overview of groups of microorganisms, detection of microorganisms with modern, molecular biological methods, sterilization and desinfection, cell division and life cycles of procaryotes, eucaryotes and their vira, growth physiology of microorganisms, bacterial genetics, and selection of mutants. In the experimental part microbiological techniques like sterile technique, cell growth, wastewater analysis and bacteria in food are demonstrated. Regarding DNA technology, the following topics are covered: genetic engineering, isolation and analysis of DNA, and regulation of gene expression.
