Description |
The objective of this module is to present a general introduction of the ecology and microbiology of aquatic ecosystems in tropical and temperate regions. Different scales of study in ecology will be explored as will be the different questions associated to these scales. After an introduction on the micro-organisms present in aquatic systems, the role of microbes in elemental cycles and ecosystem function will be discussed. Notions on biofilms and aggregates will be developed as will aquatic microbial pathogens in disease. |
