The aim of the classes is to introduce to students the major topics of microbial ecology. Apart from origins of life, students will get familiar with extensive interactions in the microbial world, interactions among microorganisms and higher organisms or interactions among microorganisms and their abiotic surroundings. information will be provided on how these interactions determine stability of microbial communities, ecosystem functioning and equilibrium maintaining. Furthermore, the relation of phylogenetics and taxonomic and functional diversity will be given. The classes are composed in a way that students will obtain key theoretical knowledge as well as overview of state of the art microbiological-ecological techniques.
