Course objectives
At the end of the course, students will understand the problematics of cytology and morphology of bacterial cells and the techniques of microscopic and macroscopic assessments of bacterias. The aim of the course is also to involve students in the discussion of the problem.
Learning outcomes
Students will be able to characterize cytological structure, their functions and stages in more or less complex life-cycles. Student will be also able to consider the formation of the bacterial biofilm and its importance and signal processes and interactions between bacterial cells. For a specific purpose, students will be able to consider the suitability and applicability of particular methods - microscopy, archiving of acquired material, processing and analysis of images. Abilities from that field will be useful not only in biological sciences, but will also help to understand the physiological processes of bacterial cells.
Syllabus
  • Microscopic techniques, light, fluorescent and electron microscopy. Phase contrast and Nomarski contrast.

Course objectives
At the end of the course, students will understand the problematics of cytology and morphology of bacterial cells and the techniques of microscopic and macroscopic assessments of bacterias. Students will be able to characterize cytological structure, their functions and stages in more or less complex life-cycles. Student will be also able to consider the formation of the bacterial biofilm and its importance and signal processes and interactions between bacterial cells. For a specific purpose, students will be able to consider the suitability and applicability of particular methods - microscopy, archiving of acquired material, processing and analysis of images. Abilities from that field will be useful not only in biological sciences, but will also help to understand the physiological processes of bacterial cells.
Syllabus

At the end of the course, students will understand the problematics of cytology and morphology of bacterial cells and the techniques of microscopic and macroscopic assessments of bacterias. The aim of the course is also to involve students in the discussion of the problem.
Learning outcomes
Students will be able to characterize cytological structure, their functions and stages in more or less complex life-cycles. Student will be also able to consider the formation of the bacterial biofilm and its importance and signal processes and interactions between bacterial cells. For a specific purpose, students will be able to consider the suitability and applicability of particular methods - microscopy, archiving of acquired material, processing and analysis of images. Abilities from that field will be useful not only in biological sciences, but will also help to understand the physiological processes of bacterial cells.

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.
