After successful completion of the course, students are able to:
- carry out the basic rules of good microbiological laboratory practice (GLP) independently and to apply the essential safety aspects when working with microorganisms.
- carry out important microbiological laboratory techniques for eukaryotic and prokaryotic microorganisms.
- outline and analyze the most important steps in microbiological laboratory investigations and experiments.
- Introduction to Good Laboratory Pratice (GLP)
- Basic terms of microbiological practice (sterility, disinfection, aseptic work, safety classifications, etc..)
- Cultivation and isolation of prokaryotes (bacteria) and eukaryotes (fungi)
- qualitative and quantitative strategies for the analysis of microorganisms from environmental samples (cultivation vs. molecur detection of biomolecules vs. cell detection)
- Preservation and transfer of pure cultures
- Teaching of methods based on application-related examples (degradation of biopolymers, determination of bathing- and drinking water quality)
- short introductions, tutorials, demonstrations, discussions
- lab exercises and practical training
- evaluation and interpretation of laboratory results
- preparaton of a lab protocol
The course "Microbiology Laboratory Exercises" will take place in January 2021 (7.1.2021 - 29.1.2021).
Due to the current situation, we will offer two parallel courses, each of which can accommodate 8 people.
The course materials are made available on TUWEL. The introductory seminar will be held via ZOOM (access via TUWEL).
A schedule of the course times is also provided on TUWEL.
The division into the two courses will be made according to the order of registration. Course 1: Registrations 1-8, Course 2: Registrations 9-16. After the deadline for registration and deregistration has expired, please check in TISS which course you are assigned to and then find the course times that apply to you in the course schedule provided on TUWEL!
