Description
Course outline
Thematic of the lectures (25.5h):
- Structure of bacterial chromosomes (3h)
- Regulation of bacterial gene expression and bacterial genomics (sigma factors, sRNA; 6h)
- Bacterial cytoskeleton (1,5h)
- Global regulation of bacterial transcription (DNA topology and stringent response; 9h)
- Bacterial diversity and the new tree of life (3h)
- Plasticity of bacterial genomes (mobile genetic elements; 3h)
Tutorials (18h= 12x1.5h):
Before each session, students have to read one scientific paper on topics related to the lectures and its content (methodologies, results) is then discussed during the 1.5h tutorial.
