Familiarising the student with the classification, identification and morphology of different groups of microorganisms: viruses, bacteria, actinomycetes, fungi. Growth, reproduction, occurrence and role of microorganisms in different types of environments. Familiarisation of students with the positive and negative side effects of microorganisms on the human environment. Familiarisation with representatives of selected strains of microorganisms used in various industries. Microbiological methods for the determination of the activity of microorganisms in different environments and the influence of environmental factors on microorganisms.
Lectures:
The emergence and development of microbiology. Structure of a prokaryotic cell. Morphological and ecological characteristics of various groups of microorganisms (mainly viruses, bacteria, actinomycetes and moulds). Metabolism of microorganisms (aerobic and anaerobic, metabolism of phototrophs and chemolithotrophs). The role of enzymes in metabolic processes. Participation and role of microorganisms in fermentation processes (e.g. alcoholic, lactic and butter fermentation). Methane fermentation and the role of archaebacteria. Growth and reproduction of microorganisms. Occurrence and role of microorganisms in various environments. The participation of microorganisms in the circulation of elements. Influence of environmental factors on microorganisms in soil, water and sewage. Mutual interaction of microorganisms. The use of microorganisms in industry and environmental engineering.
Laboratory:
Getting to know the basic principles and techniques of work as well as equipment used in a microbiological laboratory. Microscopic analysis of bacteria, actinomycetes and moulds. Breeding methods used in microbiology. Examination of the size, shape and arrangement of bacteria cells. Gram's method. Number of microorganisms in water, soil and air. Sanitary analysis. Soil and air microbiological analysis.

Laboratory: the basis of the assessment is the average grade of the reports from the realized classes and the grade of the written test at the end of laboratory classes.
Lecture: written test with 3 exam questions.Scale of marks: 0÷50%/poor, 51÷60%/poor, 61÷70%/good, 71÷80%/good, 81÷90%/good plus, 91÷100%/very good.
The basis for determining the final grade is the weighted average obtained by adding: 0.5 of the grade from the lecture and 0.5 of the grade from the laboratory exercises. The weighted average is rounded to two decimal places. The final grade is determined on the basis of the weighted average according to the rule: below 3.24 - sufficient, from 3.25 to 3.74 - sufficient plus, from 3.75 to 4.24 - good, from 4.25 to 4.74 - good plus, from 4.75 - very good.
