Aim of the course

The aim of the course is introduction to students the knowledge in the field of microbiology, in particular ecology of microorganisms and its role in environment and in the existence of human. Exercises will have concentrated on the evaluation of microbial contamination of water, soil and air. Exercises teach basic methods and techniques for detection and quantification of microorganisms in the environment.
