Prerequisites and co-requisites
1. Successful mastering of the scientific-theoretical and practical material of the educational disciplines taught to students of the "Bachelor" educational level: "Microbiology", "General Genetics", "Biochemistry". 2. To be able to independently apply knowledge of molecular biology, biochemistry, microbiology, etc. discipline, work with scientific and methodical literature; participate in debates and competently justify one's point of view. 3.

Course content
An important place is given to the differences in the structure of cells of eukaryotic and prokaryotic types, as well as differences between the domains of Eubactius and Archaea. Much attention is paid to aspects of the synthesis of vital components of the bacterial cell and understanding the inhibition of their synthesis in order to inactivate the vital functions of the cell. The study of the ultrastructure of prokaryotic cells is necessary and relevant for understanding their metabolism, use in industry, medicine, agriculture, biotechnology, as well as for the development of effective means of combating bacterial infections.
