Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The first part of this two-part lecture series (second part in summer semester) provides an encompassing overview on state-of-the-art molecular methods for analyzing the composition of microbial communities in complex environmental and medical samples. The lecture starts with the introduction of the bacterial species concept and parameters of microbial diversity ("species richness" and "species evenness"), followed by a detailed description of the full-cycle rRNA approach. Further techniques that are described and critically discussed include novel high-throughput sequencing technologies (454/FLX, Solexa), fluorescence in situ hybridization, quantitative real-time PCR, dot/slot blot and DNA microarray hybridization, and DNA fingerprinting techniques. In addition, students are made familiar with the relevant primary literature and current research results.
