Organisation and examination
Teaching in the second semester
Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
The course will be focused on physiological and morphological differentiations in microorganisms. The selected examples will be discussed in the context of the microorganism's ecological niche and molecular mechanisms will be detailed. Phenomenon related to bacterial dormancy, onset of pathogenicity, and secondary metabolite production will be presented, amongst many others.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Optimal understanding of the course requires a number of prerequisites. The students must have integrated the basic notions addressed in the courses of Molecular biology of the gene, Microbiology, and Biochemistry and physiology of microorganisms.

Face-to-face
Recommended or required readings
Assessment methods and criteria
At the first course, the students will draw by lot a theme in Molecular Bacteriology which will be the general topic of their examination. During the exam, the student will make an oral and public presentation (open to all students and other members of the department) where he/she will introduce the theme and illustrate it with one or more examples up to understanding at the molecular level the biological process or processes presented. During the courses period, the student will have the opportunity to regularly interact with the professor to ensure the relevance of the examples chosen for his/her oral presentation. The total duration of the exam is approximately 40 minutes (presentation + Discussion with the audience).
