Prerequisites
Bi4090 General microbiology
Examination - microbiology, biochemistry, ecology of plants and animals.
Course Enrolment Limitations
The course is also offered to the students of the fields other than those the course is directly associated with.
fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
Course objectives
The aim of lectures is to familiarize students with ecology of microorganisms with emphasis on their importance in evolution of life and nutrient cycle. Specially attention is also targed to the study of interactions that microorganisms create between themselves and with their environment.
Learning outcomes
At the end of this course students will be able to define basic categories in microbial ecology, to understand importance of microbes for trophic chains and nutrient cycling in nature, their contribution to geochemical transformations and relationship between microbes, plants and animals.
Syllabus
  • Introduction, history of microbial ecology. Microbial communities – composition, diversity, nutrition. Colonization, succession, climax. Structure of microbial communities, interactions within communities. Interactions between microbes and animals, and plants. Microbes in their natural habitats – atmo-ecosphere, hydro-ecosphere, litho-ecosphere. Quantitative ecology – sample collection and processing, detection of microbial populations, determination of microbial numbers and microbial biomass, methods of molecular microbial ecology. Biogeochemical cycles.
