Derived from	20401668 ENVIRONMENTAL MICROBIOLOGY in Ecosystems Biodiversity and Management LM-6 (professor to define) (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. Functional diversity of microbes Phototrophic and chemotrophic bacteria; bacteria in sulfur and nitrogen cycles 4. The principal phylogenesic groups of Bacteria Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, Ipertermofili 5. The principal phylogenetic groups of Archea Phyla and evolution 6. Methods in microbial ecology Culture-based methods Cultivation-independent techniques: microscope; genetic analysis; genome and metagenomics; functional analysis 7. 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) 8. Microbial role in nutrient cycles Carbon, nitrogen, sulfur, others 9. Symbiosis between microorganisms and between microorganisms and different organisms Plants; rhizosphere; root nodules Mammals; microbiome: bowel and rumen 10. Microorganisms in anthropized environments Bioremediation of contaminated sites; water treatment; biocorrosion; mineral recovery from mines (reference books) Brock. Biologia dei microrganismi. Microbiologia generale, ambientale e industriale. Madigan et al., Pearson Editore (XIV ed.).
