Methodology

  • Basic cultivation methods for bacteria
  • Molecular genetics methods (specific and nonspecific mutagenesis, construction of mutant libraries, construction of reporter fusions)
  • Analysis of bacterial genomic sequences: Geneious platform (yearly renewed licence by the Faculty of Science), additional free online tools for analysis, comparison and visualization of genomic data

 

Laboratory Equipment

  • Small- and large-volume cultivators for bacteria
  • PCR thermocycler
  • Horizontal agarose electrophoresis units and associated equipment
  • Light microscope, Laminary flow box, centrifuges, deep-freeze unit, etc.
  • Specialized equipment of the Biological section service facilities, Faculty of Science, is utilized for some analyses
