Competencies and objectives

 

Course context for academic year 2012-13

La microbiología se dedica al estudio de aquellos seres vivos tan diminutos que sólo pueden ser observados mediante técnicas de aumento óptico. Los diferentes microorganismos existen  en prácticamente cualquier entorno de la biosfera, en ocasiones constituyendo la población mayoritaria o incluso única en los mismos. En este contexto, los alimentos pueden ser considerados como un entorno más en el cual los microorganismos pueden estar presentes  y donde potencialmente han tenido un papel relevante en aspectos tan fundamentales como el deterioro y preservación, la transmisibilidad de agentes dañinos e incluso la elaboración de los mismos.
