| Målbeskrivelse | |||||||||||||||
| Molecular biology techniques are increasingly used in Food Microbiology. These techniques allow for very specific spe-cies and strain identification, growth independent popula-tion determination and quantification, as well as quantification of gene expression. The aim of the course is to give PhD students with limited molecular biology experience theoretical and practical knowledge in selected molecular biology techniques related to typing and identification, growth independent techniques and gene expression. | |||||||||||||||
