Aim: To give the students a basic knowledge of microorganisms and their molecular biology, and insight into the methods and results in microbiology in order to enable the students to read litterature in microbiology. In the experimental part the basic principles for handling biological materials (microorganisms and macromolecules) is taught. The focus is on environmental and industrial angles in order to support and illustrate the topics presented in the theoretical part.
| |
Contents: In the theoretical part the following topics are covered: Cell biology and macromolecular processes, DNA replication, transciption and translation. 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.
