Kompetenzziele
The aim of the module "Ecophysiology of prokaryotes" is to impart in-depth knowledge on the metabolism and physiology of microorganisms and train students in practical skills to measure physiological parameters. 
After completion of the module, students can
- contribute to current scientific projects (under guidance)
- know modern analytical techniques
- know and understand recent scientific literature
- can write scientific reports, present their results and discuss them
 
Modulinhalte
“Ecophysiology of prokaryotes”: Projects derived from current scientific programs are carried out, typically in groups of two students guided by a senior scientist or PhD student.
Typical project deal with:
- Anaerobic processes
 Molecular analysis of microbial communities
- Sediment microbiology
- Physiological experiments and activity measurements
- Impact of viruses
- Microscopic analysis of chemotaxis

In the accompanying seminar, recent scientific studies in international journals are presented by the students. The results are summarized and discussed in a protocol fulfilling scientific level requirements.
