Prerequisites for registration: none

Learning Outcome: Students are able to formulate scientific questions and hypotheses and to plan and conduct experiments in the laboratory based on classic microbiological experiments. They get an insight into the historically important developments in microbiology and into basic aspects of the philosophy of science and gender research.

Prerequisites for registration: none

Learning Outcome: Students can plan, carry out and interpret complex experiments on bacterial enzymology, the kinetics of growth, the production of secondary metabolites and nitrogen fixation.

Prerequisites for registration: none

Learning Outcome: Students are familiar with the theoretic fundamentals of molecular microbiology and microbial genetic engineering and can apply their knowledge for genetically modifying and characterizing prokaryotes and low-level eukaryotes. Students are able to independently apply working methods of molecular biology, make protocols and interpret and discuss their results.

Prerequisites for registration: none

Learning Outcome: Students are familiar with the fundamentals of molecular phylogeny and can apply them in practice. They have an understanding of molecular mechanisms in signal transduction and of biopolymer degradation by fungi and have knowledge of the current state of research.

Prerequisites for registration: none

Learning Outcome: Students are able to recognize fungi in a selected habitat. They can classify the most common and important types of fungi there and identify their species and class. They are able to recognize important morphological features and are familiar with basic microscopic techniques for identifying fungi. They are also familiar with the ecological function of selected groups of fungi and can apply this knowledge - based on typical features - to other groups of fungi.

Prerequisites for registration: none

Learning Outcome: Students can independently examine current issues in soil microbiology by applying pedological, chemical, micro- and molecular-biological methods and to interpret the gained results in a statistically sound way. Students understand the varied functions of microorganisms in soil and understand their importance for the global cycle of materials. They understand soil as precious resource for all terrestrial ecosystems that is worth protecting.

Prerequisites for registration: none

Learning Outcome: Students are familiar with theoretical and practical fundamentals of the impact of pollutants on microorganisms and understand the biotechnological importance of these environmental-microbiological processes. They are able to plan, conduct and analyze experiments and to interpret the results.

Prerequisites for registration: none

Learning Outcome: Students are familiar with the most important fundamentals of biotechnical processes. They recognize the area of conflict between modern biotechnical possibilities and the ecological and social (regulative) framework based on examples of medical biotechnology.

Prerequisites for registration: none

Learning Outcome: Students know about the importance of recycling of biowaste. They are familiar with the legal framework and the ecological requirements. They also have an in-depth, application-orientated knowledge of one of the methods of biomethanization.

Prerequisites for registration: none

Learning Outcome: Students are able to work out the theoretical and practical fundamentals of geomicrobiology and to discuss and present their ecological and biotechnical importance. They are familiar with cultivation-technical and analytic methods for conducting geomicrobiological experiments and are able to present and interpret the results.
