Catalogue data
| Abstract | Teaching of basic experimental knowledge for detection and identification of relevant microorganisms in food. Various practical experiments were accompanied by theoretic introductions to the different topics. The students become acquainted with state-of-the-art methods with main focus on modern molecular techniques for the rapid detection of food borne pathogens. |
| Learning objective | Teaching of basic experimental knowledge for detection and identification of relevant microorganisms in food. |
| Content | Grundtechniken für die mikrobiologische Untersuchung von Lebensmitteln, Qualitätssicherung, Anwendung von antimikrobiellen Wirkstoffen, Nachweismethoden für die wichtigsten pathogenen Keime aus Lebensmitteln und einzelnen Keimen aus fermentierten oder probiotischen Lebensmitteln mit klassischen Methoden (u.a. Anreicherungssysteme, ELISA, Enzymsysteme) und Methoden der Molekularbiologie (PCR, Hybridisierung, in situ-Nachweis), Durchführung von Gentransfermethoden mit Mikroorganismen (Konjugation, Transformation) und Bakteriophagen in Lebensmitteln |
| Lecture notes | Wird am Praktikumsanfang abgegeben. |
