The enrolment is done by the D-BIOL study administration.
Abstract
Lab course. In small groups projects of relevance to current research questions in the field of bacterial natural product biosynthesis are addressed.
Learning objective
Introduction to relevant subjects of the secondary metabolism of bacteria. Training in practical work in a research laboratory. Scientific writing in form of a research report.
Content
Research project on bacteria that produce bioactive natural products (e.g., Streptomycetes, Cyanobacteria, uncultivated bacteria). The techniques used will depend on the project, e.g. PCR, cloning, natural product analysis, precursor feeding studies, enzyme expression and analysis.
Lecture notes
none.
Literature
Will be provided for each of the projects at the beginning of the course.
