Course Description |
The aim of the course is to introduce the students to the nature, diversity and metabolic impact of
microorganisms and the type of solid phases they interact with. The class deals with processes that occur at cell
surface interface between microbes and minerals, and within cells, and the resulting mineral precipitation,
dissolution, and changes in aqueous geochemistry. Microbial evolution and their geological consequences will
also be discussed throughout the class. |
