The class is organized as a block course, with lectures in the morning followed by practical work  in  the  laboratory  as  well  as  bioinformatics  analyses.  During  lectures,  students  will  get  an overview of biochemical, molecular biological and genetic methods as well as basic bioinformatics skills necessary to approach microbial physiology and to develop biotechnological applications. Students will be introduced to theoretical physiological and metabolic concepts as  well  as  biotechnological  application  of  enzymes  and  microbes.  The  lecture  will  convey  basic  bioinformatics  skills  for  cloning  of  genes,  prediction  of  gene  function,  phylogenetic  comparisons.  In  the  practical  course,  students  will  perform  own  projects  on  topics  of  scientific  interest  to  the MEB group and will work on novel scientific questions as a small team. Starting  with  a  general  overview  of  physiology,  methods  and  bioinformatics,  students  will  learn state of the art biochemical, molecular biological and genetic methods, advanced phys-iological, biotechnological concepts as well as basic bioinformatics approaches.
