Mycotechnique (MIK52B / 1 (0-1)

The mycology technique course covers isolation methods from various environments and isolate characterizations based on morphology, ecology, physiology, genetics, and bioinformatics. Morphological techniques are conducted by microscopic based observation of fungal somatic and reproductive structures and identification keys. Fungal ecology studied by analyzing species diversity in the same habitat. Fungal physiology analyzed by observation of fungal substrate diversity in fields, identification based of culture characteristics grown on semi synthetic medium, and culture preservation techniques. Fungal genetics studied by characterization of culture derived from breeding between isolates, whereas bioinformatics techniques carried out by DNA sequence and protein analyses using taxon specific primers, and molecular systematics.

Coordinator:  Dr Sri Listiyowati, M.Si
 

Microbiology for Sustainable Environment (BIO51C/2 (2-0)

The subject will cover knowledge and technology related to microbes and their environment, starting with an overview of the basic concept of life and microbial diversity in the environment.  Followed by an active discussion on terrestrial and aquatic microbes, aeromicrobiology, microbes and extreme environment as well as techniques used to study microbes in their environment.  Second part of the semester will discuss about biogeochemical cycles, microbial biotechnology and current development of microbes and their environment.  Indepth discussion and presentation will be conducted under the perspective of microbes for sustainable environment

Coordinator:  Dr. Ir. Yulin Lestari  
 

Research Methodology (PPs 590 / 3 (3-0))

This course discusses the scientific approach in microbiology research covering research epistemology, research development, research type, and research methods in microbiology. This course also explains the structure and format of scientific writing that emphasize on proposal and research results writing and preparing a powerful presentation.

Coordinator:  Dr. Ir. Gayuh Rahayu
 

Project in Mycology (MIK52C / 1 (0-1)

This course explores two substantial topics which are “Biology of Fungi” and “Important fungal-derived compounds”. The topic of Biology of fungi covers the exploration of fungi in traditional food; fungal food and medicine; mycorrhiza; lichen; weed, insect and nematode pathogens, and lignocellulolytic fungi. The mportant product from fungi including the decomposition products and its attributed metabolism processes comprises the primary and secondary metabolites which are applicable in the field of agriculture, environment and energy.

Coordinator:  Prof. Dr Lisdar A Manaf
 

Prokaryote Project (MIK 51D/SKS 2 (0-2))

This course gives knowledge and skills to work with bacteria both in the fields of physiology and genetics. Isolation techniques and characterization of isolates which include staining, measuring enzyme activity, antimicrobial assays and its attributed resistance properties will be practiced. Isolation of genomic DNA, DNA amplification, bioinformatic analysis of DNA and protein sequences, and gene cloning in bacteria are themes in genetic aspects.

Coordinator: Prof. Dr. Anja Meryandini
 

Microbe-Host Interaction (BIO524/3 (2-1))

The course covers biology of microbe-host interaction in plant, animal and human which include mutualistic, neutral and antagonistic symbiosis. Aspect of biodiversity, ecology, physiology, interaction mechanisms and role of the microbe-host interaction in agriculture, health, and environment are also discussed.  Student discussion in individual and group play significant role in this course.

Coordinator: Dr. Ir. Nampiah Sukarno,
 

Microbes and Their Potential Applications (BIO514 / 3 (2-1))

Coordinator : Dr. Nisa Rachmania, M.Si
 

Biotechnology of Antimicrobial Compounds (MIK 62A/3 (2-1)

The course of Biotechnology of Antimicrobial Compounds presents antimicrobial compounds which include both antibiotic compounds of origin of organisms as well as semisynthetic antibiotic compounds and bacteriocin compounds, besides that it is explained about bacteriophage. Also explained organisms that produce these compounds and the selection and screening strategy to obtain these antimicrobial compounds supported by knowledge of production physiology, mechanism of action, biosynthesis, resistance, activity test methods, extraction and purification based on microbiological techniques (bioautography) and chemical techniques (chromatography) and physicochemistry to obtain pure antimicrobial compounds
 

Statistics Analysis (STK511/3(2-1))

Basic statistics (types of variables, presentation of data and summarization of data, random variable concepts, distribution of random variable opportunities, parameter estimation and hypothesis testing).

Some package analysis options are: (1) experimental design, (2) non-parametric analysis and categorical data analysis, (3) General (experimental design, categorical data analysis and multiple variable analysis), (4) open choice packages tailored to the needs of the study program.

Colloquium (BIO 601/1(0-1)) 

Colloquium is a scientific forum for students to present their research plans for thesis that have been consulted with the supervisor board. Colloquium is carried out in front of students, supervisors, and lecturers. The final result of the colloquium is set in research proposal form that is ready to be used as a reference in conducting thesis research.

Coordinator: Prof. Dr. dr. Sri Budiarti

Seminar (PPS690/1(0-1))

Seminar is a presentation of research results (thesis or atau dissertation) in a Postgraduate School’s scientific forum. This course is aimed to disseminate research results , both in writing and verbal, in order to absorb the input from forum. Those input are then used to  in order to improve the quality of thesis, add scientific insideinsight, and toas well as  to improve the student’s  competencye of in scientific communication. Provides scientific a technique writing technique from various scientific works that covers writing project proposal and reports, including the way to deliver and present data, make slides and transparency, and use computer with Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) Viewers.

Coordinator : Post Graduate School

Final Exam (BIO698/2(0-2))

Thesis exam or final exam for master program is the final evaluation after students of master program conduct research activities, thesis writing, and seminars. This thesis exam is intended to assess the ability of master program students to defense their results. The scope of the thesis exam includes the draft thesis and comprehensive knowledge of students relating to competence [science and methodology], thinking [analysis, synthesis], communication and solutions that are directly and indirectly related to the thesis. Masters program students who will take the final examination must meet the academic and administrative requirements, which set by IPB Postgraduate School.
