| Abstract | Teaching of basic experimental knowledge for detection and identification of microorganisms in food. Practical experiments were accompanied by theoretical introductions. Students become acquainted with classical and state-of-the-art molecular techniques for the rapid detection of food borne pathogens and experiments in dependence on current research topics of the Laboratory of Food Microbiology. | |||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | Fachliche Lernziele Die Studierenden - setzen im Studium erworbenes und im Rahmen der Lehrveranstaltung neu erarbeitetes Wissen ein, um zu beurteilen, welche Mikroorganismen in welchen Lebensmitteln relevant sind. - können entscheiden, welche Verfahren zum Nachweis welcher Mikroorganismen geeignet sind. Überfachliche Lernziele Die Studierenden - evaluieren und bewerten ihre Ergebnisse vor dem Hintergrund der verwendeten Methoden. - dokumentieren ihre Tätigkeiten in einem Laborjournal in übersichtlicher Form und diskutieren die erhaltenen Ergebnisse kritisch. - präsentieren die erhaltenen in mündlicher Form verständlich und nachvollziehbar. | |||||||||||||||
| Content | Teaching of basic experimental knowledge for detection and identification of foodborne pathogens by applying state-of-the-art techniques as well as modern molecular techniques for the rapid identification of relevant foodborne pathogens. | |||||||||||||||
| Lecture notes | Handouts were provided at the start of the course | |||||||||||||||
| Literature | - Krämer: "Lebensmittel-Mikrobiologie" (Ulmer; UTB) - Süssmuth et al.: "Mikrobiologisch-Biochemisches Praktikum" (Thieme) | |||||||||||||||
| Prerequisites / Notice | Important information! During the course we will work with the food-borne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes. Listeria monocytogenes represents a particular threat to pregnant women. Due to biosafety reasons participation is not allowed in case of pregnancy. | |||||||||||||||
