| ENVIRONMENTAL MICROBIOLOGY
(objectives)
THE MAIN AIMS OF THE COURSE ARE:
1) RECOGNIZE MAJOR GROUPS OF MICROORGANISMS AND UNDERSTAND FACTORS INFLUENCING THEIR ENVIRONMENTAL DISTRIBUTION AND INTERACTIONS WITH HIGHER ORGANISMS;
2) LEARN ABOUT ROLES PLAYED BY MICROBES IN SOIL FORMATION, MINERAL WEATHERING, CARBON AND NITROGEN CYCLING;
3) LEARN ABOUT CULTURE-BASED AND CULTURE-INDEPENDENT MICROBIOLOGICAL METHODS;
4) GAIN LITERACY IN CRITICAL READING AND ANALYSIS OF SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE IN THE FIELD OF ENVIRONMENTAL MICROBIOLOGY

- DURING LESSONS, THE FOLLOWING TOPICS WILL BE COVERED
- DISTRIBUTION AND ACTIVITY OF MICROORGANISMS IN MARINE, FRESHWATER AND TERRESTRIAL ECOSYSTEMS – EXTREME ENVIRONMENTS
-THE ROLE OF BACTERIA IN CYCLING ORGANICS. THE MOST WELL-KNOWN AND IMPORTANT BIOGEOCHEMICAL CYCLES: CARBON, NITROGEN SULFUR AND IRON CYCLES
