Role of microorganisms in ecosystem functioning 1

Microorganism/microorganism, microorganism/higher organism, and microorganism/environment interactions are taught in an ecosystem context. The goal is to highlight the impact of environmental disturbances or forcings (local and global) on the spatio-temporal structuring of microbial communities and functions.

- Understand the complexity of microbial interactions in terrestrial and aquatic environments, as well as the major role of microorganisms in the functioning of ecosystems;

- Be able to illustrate, using examples, the role of microorganisms in biogeochemical cycles and their contribution to the stability and resilience of ecosystems.

General Microbiology, Molecular Biology and Genomics, and Fundamentals of Ecology.

Recommended prerequisites*: microbial ecology
