Learning Outcomes

- Overview of basic concepts and actual developments of geo- and environmentally relevant processes - Methodological concepts for the description of geomicrobiological processes - Microbiological, biochemical and genomic background - Exploitation of geomicrobial processes in biotechnology Topic-specific competence (Knowledge/Understanding): 40%; Methodological competence (analysis and methodology): 40%; Development and experimental design: 20%

Content

Geomicrobial processes: e.g. methanogenesis, biogas production, anaerobic methane oxidation, sulfate reduction, transformation of halogenated contaminants, degradation of plastics, element cycles, anaerobic ammonium oxidation (topics vary from year to year) Application of geomicrobial processes in biotechnology Methods: - Microbial phylogeny, 16S rRNA-gen analyses, Microbial population analyses - Annotation of genomes of biotechnologically relevant microorganisms - Use of bioinformatic tools (genome sequencing, annotation, functional genomics, mass spectrometry) - Isotope methods (isotopic fractionation, isotopic labelling) - Metagenomics for the identification of biotechnologically useful enzyme activities - Single cell isolation and sequencing
