Introductory remarks on bacteriology.

Biodiversity of the marine micro-organisms.

Technical approaches of harvesting and characterization of the biomasses and the metabolic potentials in water and sediments.

Control of bacteria distribution and activities at the sea.

Cycles of carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus and sulphur and the microbial cycle

Bacterial biocenoses (symbiosis: macroinvertebrates in hydrothermal vents and the coral mucus layer and the phenomenon of bleaching).

Quantification of bacteria growth in marine systems: theory and methods.

Molecular approaches to the diversity of marine microorganisms.

Molecular markers diversity at the genetic level and ecological implications(geographical distribution, endemism).

MODE OF TEACHING

Lectures

Seminars

Practical work:

1.- Methods to measure biomass (epifluorescence UV ...), growth and metabolic activities of mixed bacterial populations

2.- Simulation and computation software in microbiology

3.- Laboratory exercise on the diversity of marine microorganisms (often cyanobacteria) or presentation of an article
