Microbial cell biology

Mobilize fundamental knowledge of the biology of microbial cells, their pathogens and fungi. Acquire and use the vocabulary associated with these organisms, and understand their structures and functional organizations.

L2 level in microbiology

Comparison of microbial and eukaryotic cells:

Structure and organization of prokaryotes
Classification of bacteria
Mobile genetic elements in bacteria
Comparison with higher eukaryotes (cell structure and organization, protein addressing and post-translational modifications)

Regulation of gene expression in bacteria:

Regulation of bacterial operon expression.
Mechanisms of induction and repression (CAP protein, etc.).
Notions of activation and repression.
Study of operons Lactose, Arabinose, Glutamine and Tryptophan (attenuation)

Physiology, genetics of yeasts and fungi:

Structure of a lower eukaryote
Nutritional and reproductive aspects
Genetics and mutagenesis

Virology I:

Basics
Viruses associated with microbial cells (phages) and eukaryotic cells.

Mobilize fundamental knowledge of microbial cell biology (bacteria, yeasts), their pathogens and fungi to ensure in-depth understanding of pathophysiological and virulence processes, in order to identify biological targets for therapy or diagnosis and develop innovative therapeutic approaches.
