Videregående Miljøteknisk Mikrobiologi

• Identify different techniques to evaluate activity, presence, abundance and diversity of microbes in environmental samples
• Determine and quantify targeted microbes with modern molecular and microscopic methods
• Perform and interpret molecular diversity analysis on environmental strains and communities
• Measure and interpret microbial transformation rates
• Recognize and interpret microbial interactions and their importance in microbial ecology, and describe opportunities to interfere in those interactions
• Explain how environmental conditions (abiotic factors) affect microbial processes and interactions
• Use selective enrichment and cultivation to evaluate the abundance of public health related microbial traits
• Choose and appraise molecular and microbiological methods for microbial activity, abundance and diversity in environmental samples
• Collaborate in groups and identify the strengths/weaknesses of teamwork

Working with microbial molecular techniques, determination of microbial density and metabolic rates, nucleic acid extraction, quantitative PCR, microscopy, bioinformatics, selective enrichment and cultivation of microbes, biotransformation assays

Laboratory exercises, short lectures, group discussions

Vær opmærksom på, at dette enkeltfagskursus har et minimumskrav til antal deltagere. Derudover er der begrænsning på antallet af studiepladser. Er der for få tilmeldinger oprettes kurset ikke. Er der for mange tilmeldinger, vil der blive trukket lod om pladserne. Du får besked om, om du har fået tildelt en studieplads senest 8 dage før kursusstart.
