Learning outcomes
PR01. Know the state and foreign languages ​​at a level sufficient for communication on professional issues and presentation of the results of their own research. PR02. Use libraries, information databases, Internet resources to search for the necessary information. PR12. Use innovative approaches to solve complex problems of biology under uncertain conditions and requirements. PR20. On the basis of in-depth knowledge of natural sciences to form an idea of ​​the laws of individual and historical development of biological systems in different levels of organization, the role of system processes in their formation, functioning and plasticity, features of their cooperative interaction, as well as systematic organization of living things.
Form of study
Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
1. Know: basics of general microbiology, biochemistry, molecular biology. 2. Be able to independently apply knowledge of general microbiology, biochemistry and molecular biology, navigate in modern methods of microbiology and molecular biology. 3. Have basic skills in processing scientific literature, problem solving, bioinformatics analysis and data analysis, work with materials and equipment used in the microbiological laboratory.
Course content
The subject of study of the discipline are the main metabolic processes of aerobic and anaerobic chemoorganotrophic and hemolitotrophic microorganisms: processes of digestion and synthesis of substances by microorganisms, ways of their regulation in a microbial cell, basic enzymes and enzyme complexes that carry out transport and transformation of substances in the bacterial cell. The participation of microorganisms in the biogeochemical cycles of Carbon and Nitrogen is revealed. Attention is paid the use of modern approaches to systems biology for the reconstruction of metabolic networks of microbial cells.
