Possible Study achievement

Verification of study performance: continuous and active participation in the courses
Details of the examination (type, duration, criteria) will be announced at the beginning of the course.

− The students will hear introductory and summary lectures, read text book chapters, research and review papers, and discuss together and with the teacher the following topics: Microbial biofilms, mechanisms of transcriptional regulation in Bacteria and Archaea, mechanisms of posttranscriptional regulation, advanced microbial physiology

Competencies / intended learning achievements

☒Professional competence:

− Understanding the molecular basis of regulation in prokaryotes, regulation of biofilm lifestyle and microbial physiology.

− Critical reading, interpreting and discussing current research papers and reviews on these topics, and understanding methodological approaches used.

☐Methodological competence: ---

☒Social competence:

− Learning to discuss scientific issues with other students and the teacher and explaining complex concepts.

− Learning to simplify complicated topics and ideas and to identify their key aspects.

☒Self-competence:
