Acquire by the student the theoretical and practical knowledge, resulting in the student should describe: biological and physiological functions of bacteria and fungi; metabolic processes and their regulation in these organisms; possibilities of using biological potential of bacteria and fungi in biotechnology; biological properties and regulatory functions of viruses. As part of the laboratory classes students should know the basic principles of safe work in the biological laboratory, master the techniques of microbial breeding and principles of microbiological diagnostics.
Knowledge of basic biology / microbiology, chemistry, biochemistry at secondary level.
Lecture: Place of microorganisms in the world of living organisms. Structure and function of the bacterial cell. Phototrophic, chemolithotrophic, chemo-organotrophic bacteria. Metabolic processes of bacteria and mechanisms of their regulation. Bacteriophages, plasmids, transposons. Genetics of bacteria - variability and heredity. Bacteria in the biosphere. Mutual interaction of bacteria. Viruses and their biological properties. Fungi and their biological properties. Pathogenic microorganisms for plants, animals and humans.
Laboratory classes: Microscopic observations. Size and shape of microorganisms. Simple staining, complex staining (Gram stain)- structural elements of bacteria. Sterilization. Microbiological media. Culture techniques. Isolation of bacteria and getting pure cultures. Determining the number of bacteria. Impact of physical and chemical factors on bacteria. Diagnostic tests.
- feeding method (lecture in the form of multimedia presentation),
- practical (laboratory exercises using classical and molecular techniques used in microbiological studies)

Lecture - final exam, which the student is admitted on the basis of the prior pass of the exercises
Exam: I term - written form, further deadlines – oral
Question: question I - 2 points, question II - 2 points, question III - 2 points
Exam time - 90 min.
Rating - satisfactory - 4 points, sufficient plus - 5 points, good - 6 points, good plus or very good - 6 points + originality of the answer given.
Laboratory exercises - a condition of credit is to obtain positive marks from all laboratory exercises, which are to be performed within the framework of the laboratory program. Assessment: knowledge tests (closed and open) - positive score over 60% of points obtained and practical skills test. Final score is the arithmetic mean of the partial scores.
