Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Mechanisms of cell growth and division have been mostly studied in model systems. In this lecture series, after recapitulating what we have learned from studying the reproduction of both eukaryotic, archaeal an bacterial models, I will present how non-model, often non-culturable cells - such as obligate symbionts - multiply.
The course is in English for Master and PhD students

Assessment and permitted materials

Active participation, oral presentation of selected scientific papers or take home exam.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Oral presentation of selected scientific papers or take home exam

Examination topics

Molecular mechanisms underlying growth and division of unconventional microorganisms
