Skills to be acquired in this module | The aim of the module " Ökologie benthischer Mikroorganismen " is to impart in-depth knowledge of microbial ecology with a focus on sediment microbiology in the frame of two lectures. In the lecture “Microbial ecology”, the students learn about principles of microbial ecology, microbial habitats, and microbe – invertebrate interactions. This knowledge is deepened in the lecture “Sediment microbiology”. Professional competences The students: Methodological competence The students: Social skills The students: Self-competence The students: |
Module contents | VL Microbial Ecology: Principles of marine microbial ecology (Resources and Growth, Competition; Predator-prey Relations; Biodiversity and Ecosystem Functioning), microbial habitats (Limnic, marine, terrestrial habitats; anthropogenic habitats; microbes and humans), microbe – invertebrate interactions (biofouling; microbes as producers of secondary metabolites; sponge microbial associations; role of bacteria during invertebrate settlement). VL Sediment Microbiology Introduction into sediment microbiology including anaerobic processes, energy metabolism, cultivation of sediment bacteria, adaptation to environmental conditions, molecular biological methods, quantification of microorganisms and sampling at sea. |
