Learning Objectives
Objective is to provide students with knowledge about microbial interactions in the environment, the role of microorganisms in the regulation of environmentally relevant phenomena, including climate change, and the possibilities that microorganisms have in the biotechnological applications.
The acquired competences concern the capacity to understand the role and the potentiality of microorganims in the biotechnological development, and the capacity to evaluate the role of microrganisms in the rapid changes occurring on the planet.
