Aquatic Microbiology Ecology: 1st exam (studend a):
1) 10 questions (short reply) - genomics questions are easy - Characteristics of cyanobacteria
2) Koen Sabbe (easy & nice): biodiversity - endosymbiosia
3) Wim W. : explain the distribution of organism in the water column from the surface to the level of 0% oxigen and which are the characteristic that can conditioned the distribution (ie, light, pigment composition)
2nd exam (student B)
DGGE XLD lyofilization Biocorrosion DGGF blooms why do they flourish?
plus 10 concepts to write
3rd exam: (student C)
a) the first one asked for concepts (short definitions) and also for quorum sensing and something else
b) the second part asked for the organization of microbial communities along the water column and other things
c) third part for the endosymbiosis theory and the primary, secondary and tertiary endosymbiosis
