Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This laboratory course will teach attendants how to specifically detect and identify prokaryotes in environmental and medical samples using the full cycle rRNA approach and FISH with rRNA-targeted oligonucleotide probes. The experiments performed will provide in-depth insights into parameters relevant for nucleic acid hybridization techniques and will expose students to epifluorescence- and confocal laser scanning microscopy. In addition, attendants will learn how to apply digital image analysis to extract quantitative data from FISH experiments.

Assessment and permitted materials

Continuous assessment of course work. Quality of experimental work, seminar presentation; participation in the seminar discussion, qualitiy of protocol and written exam

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Acquisition of methods to extract DNA from environmental samples, to PCR-amplify and clone specific genes, and of FISH and fluorescence microscopy. Use of these methods on participants' own environmental samples and evaluation of the results.

Examination topics

Laboratory experiments in groups of two, introduction and discussion of the theoretical background in lectures and seminars
