This course is focused on basic microbiology problems. Students will learn about microbial classification based on physiology and genetic properties, basic cell structure, cytology and morphology of bacteria, yeasts and fungi. They will study viruses at the levels of their molecular biology and genetics and their interactions with the host organism. Our coverage will focus almost entirely on viruses that infect humans and cause serious diseases. Students gain a detailed understanding of microbial metabolism and its importance for biotechnology processes. Another topic of this course is kinetic of bacterial growth and effects of outer factors on growth and reproduction of microorganisms. The basic genetic principles from the microbiology point of view will be revised (structure and function of nucleic acids, transfer of genetic information and its expression, mutations, recombination and non chromosomal heritability).

Students will be able to: distinguish different types of microorganism (bacteria, yeast and fungi) based on morphology and cytology understand the basic taxonomy of microbes and their industrial application learn about anabolic and catabolic processes of microbial metabolism follow a growth of microorganism and the effect of outer factors achieve a better view of microbial genetics recognize the importance of microorganism in the environment Last update: Kubová Petra (18.12.2017)

Only the student, who has obtained 50 points out of 100 in the parallel tests can write final exam test and pass the oral exam. The successful completion of the course consists of the written test (min. 50 points out of 100) and oral examination in A-E grade. Last update: Stiborová Hana (06.02.2018)
