DESCRIPTION
This module aims to provide an understanding of the phylogenetic, and metabolic diversity, as well as the energy conservation strategies and metabolic flexibility, of microorganisms in the Environment. Students will contextualise this in terms of the major biogeochemical cycles in Nature, as well as the industrial exploitation of element cycling for waste treatment and other aspects of environmental management. Students will consider how molecular microbial ecology is applied to understand metabolic interactions between microbes in the environment. It will comprise 18 h of lectures (combining traditional lectures, tutorials & Twitter sessions). It will also include 6 h of practical sessions focused on detecting microbes in environmental samples.
