Learning outcomes

The course is designed to provide students with a comprehensive training on both structure and role of microbial communities within different natural and anthropized habitats, as main actors of biogeochemical cycles of the elements. Students will have the opportunity to learn the most up-to-date theoretical principles and experimental methodologies to analyze microbial communities both in natural systems and in engineered (technological) contexts. Students attending the course will also be able to acquire interpretative tools allowing them to identify the occurrence of ecological imbalances and critically evaluate human impacts on the environment in terms of pollution and climate change, possibly even due to perturbations of microbial biocenoses at macro-scale level.

Program

Program of the course:
- General concepts of microbial ecology
- Systematics and evolution of prokaryotes
- Taxonomy and phylogeny
- Concepts of metabolism
- Biodiversity and functioning of microbial ecosystems
- Methiods in microbial ecology
- Analysis of biomass and activities of microbial ecosystems
- Adaptations of prokaryiotes in natural and anthropized environments
- Microbial ecology of soil systems
- Applied microbial ecology and bioremediation
- Microbial ecology and wastewater treatment
- Insects/microorganisms mutualism

Examination Methods

Oral test to assess the knowledge of the topics and how to link them.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE
