Microbial Physiology Course
Dive into microbial physiology, covering everything from growth patterns to advanced omics approaches. Gain expertise in planning cultures, assessing metabolic rates and enzyme performance, associating cell structures with changes in nutrients and oxygen, and transforming raw data into sharp, measurable conclusions for research in biology and biotechnology applications.

What will I learn?
This course equips you with hands-on skills to set up and analyse batch culture experiments, covering media choices, oxygen management, and detailed growth curve assessments. You'll link key metabolic processes to ATP production, redox equilibrium, and enzyme functions, while connecting these to cell wall architecture, cell shapes, and biofilm development through current lab techniques and combined data evaluation.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Design robust microbial growth tests: select media, manage oxygen, and schedule samples carefully.
- Measure growth and respiration rates: evaluate optical density, colony counts, oxygen use, and metabolic indicators.
- Assess metabolic routes: perform assays for NADH, enzymes, and metabolites with proper controls.
- Connect metabolism to cell structure: associate envelope shifts, biofilms, and stress responses to metabolic flows.
- Develop integrated models: tie carbon sources, ATP output, and overall cell functions together.
