At the end of this course, you are able to:
- compare microbial lifestyles based on their thermodynamics and energy yields on molecular level
- evaluate the link between genomes, genomic potential, annotation and the deduced metabolic pathways in single gene and genome-wide comparisons
- link biosynthesis (assimilation) and energy conversion (dissimilation) in a pathway model of a single microorganism and in comparison to other, distinct microorganisms
explain the functioning of various microbial fermentations and respiratory chains on pathway level
- explain different molecular and physiological adaptions of microbes to extreme environmental conditions in the domains Bacteria and Archaea
