| NBIA03 | Microbiology, 7,5 ECTS-points /Mikrobiologi/ Advancement level: A | |
| Aim: The course aims to give basic knowledge about micro organisms morphology, physiology and metabolism as well as ecology and evolution, including understanding for micro-organisms importance, both in nature as in medicine. The course should, furthermore, give the student practice in microbiological laboratory work.Prerequisites: General Chemistry 1, 2 and 3 (NKEA 11, 12 and 13 or NKEA 14, 15, 16 and 17) and Cell biology (NBIA01).Course organization: The course includes lectures which give a theoretical summary of the subject and in certain degrees completes and/or explains the course literature. Laborations make up a great part of the course. They exemplify the theory and the results are presented and discussed at seminars. The course includes, furthermore, group work of practical and/or theoretical character, which is to be presented both in writing and orally.Course content: Sterile techniques and sterilization. Microorganisms basic structure and function and thier rolls in nature, amongst others taxonomy and classification of prokaryotes, microbe morphology, bacterial physiology, virus, antimicrobica, medical microbiology, ecological microbiology and applied microbiology.Course literature: Brock et al. 1997 Biology of Microorganisms (8th ed).
