The subject focuses on special microbiology and its content builds on basic microbiology (bacteriology) in the summer semester of the second year.
Students gain information on the morphology and physiology of basic groups of cyanobacteria, algae, micromycetes, protozoa and other microorganisms, on their role in nature as well as mutual relations of the microbial populations with an overview of basic pathogenic and non-pathogenic species.
Some lectures are dedicated to a practical utilization of the microorganisms to detect mutagens in the environment, and their role in industrial technologies and dressing processes.
