Subject outline
In this unit students will learn how micro-organisms interact with living and non-living environments (including plants, animals and other micro-organisms), how micro-organisms (especially bacteria) are classified and identified, how to apply modern molecular techniques in ecology and taxonomy, and the basics of bacterial genetics. The practical component teaches more advanced microbiological techniques and is strongly linked to the material covered in lectures.
