Summary
This module aims to describe in some detail the molecular events which occur during the control of gene expression in bacteria. The material covered will begin with simple control circuits, followed by case studies which show how complex developmental programmes can occur in response to environmental stimuli. Examples of gene regulation in pathogenic bacteria are also included.
Target Students
Genetics, Biochemistry and Genetics, Biology, Zoology, BSc Microbiology and BSc and MSc Biotechnologystudents. Students must have studied module LIFE1029 with LIFE1030 orLIFE1031 desirable. Both modules BIOS1001 and BIOS1027 are suitable pre-requisite module alternatives for BSc Microbiology students.
Classes
This module may be delivered through lectures, seminars, workshops and labs etc
