Skills to be acquired in this module | The aim of the module "Marine Microbiology" is to impart knowledge on microbial metabolisms, physiology and diversity of groups of prokaryotes, eukaryotic microorganisms and viruses. In the lecture “Physiology and Life Modes of Prokaryotes”, the students learn the basic mechanisms of microbial metabolism. In the lecture “Microbial Diversity”, the most important groups of microorganisms and viruses are introduced and the students learn how to determine diversity by classical and modern taxonomic markers. Furthermore, problems and principles of measuring diversity, e.g. by modern bioinformatic analyses, are also explained. Professional competences The students: Social skills The students: Self-competence The students: |
