Experimental Food Microbiology for Biologists
Expt. Lebensmittelmikrobiologie für Biologen
Last Updated: 2026-02-05 16:16:00
Abstract
Teaching of basic experimental knowledge for detection and identification of microorganisms in food. Practical experiments were accompanied by theoretical introductions. Students become acquainted with classical and state-of-the-art molecular techniques for the rapid detection of food borne pathogens and experiments in dependence on current research topics of the Laboratory of Food Microbiology.
Objective
Fachliche Lernziele Die Studierenden - setzen im Studium erworbenes und im Rahmen der Lehrveranstaltung neu erarbeitetes Wissen ein, um zu beurteilen, welche Mikroorganismen in welchen Lebensmitteln relevant sind. - können entscheiden, welche Verfahren zum Nachweis welcher Mikroorganismen geeignet sind. Überfachliche Lernziele Die Studierenden - evaluieren und bewerten ihre Ergebnisse vor dem Hintergrund der verwendeten Methoden. - dokumentieren ihre Tätigkeiten in einem Laborjournal in übersichtlicher Form und diskutieren die erhaltenen Ergebnisse kritisch. - präsentieren die erhaltenen in mündlicher Form verständlich und nachvollziehbar.
