546-0527/01 – Microbiology II (MB II)

Target competence on the basis of new knowledge and its application in problem solving, observation, experiments and communication: - to characterize the attributes of basic groups of microorganisms, to be well informed about the natural systems and to understand phylogenetic relations of the individual groups, to learn about and to term characteristic organisms of the individual taxons and to determine their significance - to apply the gained knowledge in dealing with practical tasks in seminars, to consider the consequences of a phenomenon from the environmental, health as well as economic points of view and to justify the significance of new biological information for the society; to establish a positive attitude to nature - ability of independent solution of set tasks, to observe and objectively record experiment results, to document observation in the form of diagrams and charts with legends, to adhere to safety regulations when working with biological material and technical instruments, - ability to work with technical texts, to master specialist terminology, to synthetically evaluate data acquired in dealing with tasks in seminars, to defend an opinion of a biological problem solution in a discussion

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.

Průběžná kontrola studia je vedena formou diskuse k přednášené problematice, praktické dovednosti jsou průběžně sledovány při práci na cvičení; pravidelné úkoly z cvičení rozšiřují teoretickou průpravu k experimentální práci. K zápočtu studenti předloží protokoly z praktických cvičení se zpracovanými úkoly. Studium předmětu je zakončeno zkouškou, ke které lze přistoupit až po získání zápočtu. Zkouška má písemnou a ústní část.
