11. Bridging chemistry and microbial physiology
- Oxidation as the basic energy conversion process
in all living organisms.
- Oxidation states of inorganic and organically bound
bio-elements.
- Configuration and exchange of outer shell electrons
in redox-processes involving bio-elements.
- Flow of electrons and protons in biochemical and
geochemical cycles.
- The redox concept, basis of metabolism and global
material cycles.
- P does not undergo biological redox-cycling, or does it?
- From metabolic to global electron sources and sinks.
- Chemical particles which determine biochemical reacticity.
- Metabolic pathways and key enzymes.
