Enseignant: Persat Alexandre Louis André

Langue: Anglais

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 are not allowed to inscribe in your own group!

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!
