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. Metabolic processes of bacteria and mechanisms of their regulation. Genetics of bacteria. Bacteria in the environment. Microbial associations with other microorganisms. 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. Gram stain. Complex staining - structural elements of bacteria. Decontamination. Microbiological growth media. Culturing techniques. Isolation of bacteria - pure cultures. Quantification and enumeration of bacteria. Testing sensitivity to antimicrobial substances. 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 laboratory classes. Exam: I term - written form - 50 question test, further deadlines – oral. Exam time - 90 min. Rating - satisfactory - over 60% of all points.
Laboratory - 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.
