Students’ Involment

What you can learn in our lab

• Basic microbiology techniques: cultivation and analysis of microorganisms
• Working with microbial biofilms, their cultivation on various different materials (from polystyrene microtitre plates and titanium alloys used in medicine to packed columns and flow cell chambers) and the subsequent evaluation of biofilm formation or eradication under the influence of different antimicrobial agents
• Cultivation of extremophilic microorganisms focusing on their biotechnologically relevant characteristics (e.g. lipid production)
• Biosynthesis of nanoparticles (using plant extracts), their characterization and antimicrobial activity
