The subject widens the basic knowledge of biochemistry of microorganisms targeted on the organization of cell metabolism and their regulatory mechanisms. Cell cycle regulation of prokaryotes and eukaryotes is part of this. Biochemical principles of extremophilic microorganisms are included.Next topics are determinants of pathogens virulence, synthesis of antimicrobials peptides and antibiotics (secondary metabolites). The quorum-sensing regulation and the formation of bacterial biofilm are explained.

Students will be able to orient theselves in metabolit types of different groups of microorganisms, they will know the regulation of processes as sporogenesis, cell cycle, secretion and transport of low and highmolecular matters from the cells. They will acquire knowledge about mechanisms of action of antimicrobials agents, and mechanisms effecting the microbial patogenity. Beside this they will learn the response of microorganisms to various types of stress (heat-shock, oxidative stress). Last update: TAJ320 (11.12.2013)
