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 2023 (09.01.2023 - 26.01.2023).

The introductory lecture, which is mandatory for all participants, will take place at the end of December. The specific date will be made available on TISS.

The course materials will be made available on TUWEL. A detailed schedule of the course times will also be made available on TUWEL.
