Course objectives
The aim of this lecture is to give a basic knowledge of morphology of bacteria, their colony and cells. Besides the description of bacterial cell and structures in their diversity, the methods of the study of morphology of bacteria are the essential part of this course (microscopy, image processing and analysis).
Syllabus
  • 1. Microscopic techniques, light, fluorescent and electron microscopy. 2. Microphotography, digital photography, video and digital cameras, image acquisition. 3. Image processing and analysis software. 4. Cell wall of bacteria, Gram staining. 5. Acidoresistant bacteria, Ziehl-Neelsen staining. 6. Resting stages of bacteria. Endospores, exospores, cysts. 7. Capsules, sheets and slimes of bacteria. 8. Motility of bacterial cells. 9. Growth cycles of bacteria. 10. Actinomycetes, budding and appendaged bacteria, myxobacteria. 11. Cyanobacteria.
