| Summary |
|---|
The subject is focused on the explanation of the position and function of microorganisms in waters.
The subject acquaints students with basic characteristics of aquatic microorganisms in waters with regard to their ecological function in three basic trophic levels of water - destructors, producers and consumers.
The subjects aims to provide students with a basic range of knowledge in the field of hydrobiology and microbiology, which will extend the ecological concept of water as an environment for the life of (micro) organisms and thus prepare the basis for the study of other subjects which are focused on water management and water treatment technologies (water treatment, wastewater treatment, water protection, etc.). |
| Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit |
|---|
Target competences lie in gaining new knowledge and its application in problem solving, observation, experiments and communication:
- to characterize the basic attributes of microorganisms in the waters, to understand phylogenetic relations of the different groups, to learn about and to term characteristic organisms of the individual taxons and to understand the importance of microorganisms in the protection of the environment
- to apply the gained knowledge in dealing with practical tasks in seminars, to consider the consequences of a phenomenon from the environmental, sanitary as well as economic points of view; to build a positive attitude to nature
- to be able to work independently on the set tasks, to observe and objectively record the experiment results, to adhere to safe (aseptic) work principles when working with biological material and technical equipment
- to be able to work with expert/academic texts, to be familiar with the expert terminology, to be able to synthetize the obtained experimental data and to justify own approach in dealing with a environmental problems |
