Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Molecular biological and microbiological techniques from the research fields of environmental microbiology and cell biology will be covered in practical and theoretical form. Chosen experimental systems are archaeal model organisms, bacterial symbionts and complex microbial communities. Chosen techniques are: nucleic acid extraction, qPCR, immunostaining, image analysis, Poly Acrylamide Gel Electrophoresis, affinity chromatography, production of bacterial growth curves.

Assessment and permitted materials

Laboratory participation, oral presentation and written protocol.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Since the number of participants is restricted to 12, admission to the course might depend on the qualifications of the students (in particular attendance of lectures and seminars in microbiology and genetics or related fields).
