Content
The course/lectures will present the cell biology of mainly prokaryotic microorganisms, their biochemistry/metabolism, molecular genetics, systematics and oecology. The laboratory course will teach basic methods in microbiology.
Learning outcome
The students should know the different cell components and the structural, metabolic and phylogenetic diversity among prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms as well as the theories of their evolution. The course gives a molecular understanding of basic cellular processes as e.g. replication, transcription, translation, regulation, mutagenesis and transfer of genetic material between cells, and an introduction to microbiological and gene technological methods and microbial ecology. The students will gain an overview of basic virology and immunology.
