Modul 1.1 aus dem WiSe 2016, von Prof Diekert gehalten
content: The lecture "Ecology and Physiology of Bacteria"
deals with selected pathways of energy metabolism in
bacteria with special focus on ecological aspects. In
the practical course, fermentation will be studied with
the help of chemical/ physical methods of analysis.
The results of the practical courses are summarized in
protocols. History of microbiology topics are presented
in the seminar talks. The Microbiological Colloquium is
attended in combination with the other basic modules
during the two semesters and questions to the
colloquium are answered in the introductions to the
practical courses.
Learning and qualification objectives: Survey of selected pathways of energy metabolism in
bacteria with special regard to element cycles (L);
cultivation and cell fractionation of strictly anaerobic
bacteria; gas chromatography und enzymaticphotometric
test methods; protein purification and –
characterization (P); presentation (S); overview of
actual topics in microbiology (Colloquium). Regular
participation in the practical course and the colloquium
is required to reach the study objectives of the
module. The teaching staff will inform about further
