Teacher	DALMASTRI Claudia (syllabus) 1. Evolution and systematic of microorganisms Origin of bacteria; molecular phylogenesis; 16S rRNA gene and evolution; basis of microbial systematic 2. Metabolic diversity of microbes Chemolitotrophy; fermentation; anaerobiosis; phototrophy 3. The principal phylogenesic groups of Bacteria and Archea Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, Ipertermofili 4. Functional diversity of microbes 5. Methods in microbial ecology Culture-based methods Cultivation-independent techniques: microscope; genetic analysis; genome and metagenomics; functional analysis 6. Microbial ecosystems Principles of ecology Microbe environment: microbial interactions (Quorum sensing; Biofilm) Terrestrial environment: soil Aquatic environment: lakes, oceans Extreme environments (deep sea; hydrothermal springs) 7. Microbial role in nutrient cycles Carbon, nitrogen, sulfur, others 8. Symbiosis between microorganisms and between microorganisms and different organisms Plants; rhizosphere; root nodules Mammals; microbiome: bowel and rumen 9.
