Course objectives
Familiarizing students with knowledge of cyanobacteria, algae, and fungi, both theoretically and practically.
1. identify representative species of cyanobacteria, algae and fungi, mainly from Czech Republic;
2. describe thallus of cyanobacteria, algae, fungi and "fungi-like organisms"; explain their reproduction;
4. name and describe selected species these organisms, understand their function in the ecosystems
3. survey the hydrobiological material;
4. work with determinated literature;
5. demonstrate organisms suitable for elementary school.
