Practical - Persat Lab
BIO-603(PA) / 1 credit
Teacher: Persat Alexandre Louis André
Language: English
Remark: 3-day Block course, every year in January. To register, contact EDMS Administration
Frequency
Every year
Summary
The student will learn how to: - perform high resolution microscopy of single bacterial cells - perform a motility assay - operate high resolution microscope - analyze image data
Content
In this project, you will perform a typical motility experiment consisting in tracking single bacteria cells as they swim throughout a simple medium. In this configuration, they swim with flagella ultimately generating displacements. You will perform high resolution microscopy to visualizae their displacements. these movies will be analyzed with different computational methods.
Note
Please note that you cannot register in your own group Practical!
Note that 3 practical courses are mandatory for all EDMS students and that they have the priority; each course has between 2 to 4 possible slots.
Therefore, please do not register by yourself to this course, this will be done by the EDMS program administrator!
