MOLECULAR MICROBIOLOGY

Course Description

The underlying aim of the Molecular Microbiology course is to provide deeper insight into how microorganisms work at the molecular level. Being the most abundant life forms on the planet, the reservoir of microbial genetic material available to drive evolution, coupled to the subsequent influence on the dynamics of biological matter and processes at a cellular and sub-cellular level will be discussed. Many microbial activities are of great benefit to man and as such, their advantages and uses in modern molecular and biotechnology including yoghurt, cheese, bread and alcohol production, nutrient cycling and detoxification of pollutants will be discussed. Conversely, the harmful aspects of microbes including their pathogenicity, virulence factors, infectivity, the types of microbial disease pathology and their intra/extracellular life cycles will be discussed.
