- Course objectives
- The aim of this lecture is to give a basic knowledge of morphology of bacteria, their colony and cells. Besides the description of bacterial cell and structures in their diversity, the methods of the study of morphology of bacteria are the essential part of this course (microscopy, image processing and analysis).
- Syllabus
- 1. Microscopic techniques, light, fluorescent and electron microscopy. Phase contrast and Nomarski contrast. 2. Microphotography, digital photography, video and digital cameras, image acquisition. 3. Image processing and analysis software. 4. The structure of procaryotic cell. Cell wall of bacteria. Acidoresistant bacteria. Capsules, sheets and slimes of bacteria. 5. Motility of bacterial cells. Flagella. 6. Growth cycles of bacteria. 7. Resting stages of bacteria. Endospores, exospores, cysts. 8. Dimorphic prosthecate bacteria. Chlamydiae. 9. Complex growth cycles. Actinomycetes and myxobacteria. 10. Cyanobacteria. 11. The role of molecular composition of bacterial cell in classification and identification of bacteria.
