Learning outcomes: As a result of studying the academic discipline, the student must be able to demonstrate the following learning outcomes: Know: biological objects capable of causing damage to various materials and works of art; the main causes of biological damage, methods of their prevention and elimination. Be able to: use a light-field microscope, make fixed stained preparations of bacteria, work with pure cultures of bacteria, yeast, mold fungi, and identify representatives of different groups of microorganisms by microscopy methods. Perform chemical and technical-mechanical research and apply relevant research skills in restoration.
Required prior and related subjects: Special chemistry Physical and colloid chemistry; basics of archeology
Summary of the subject: The course is devoted to consideration of the causes of biodamage of materials and architectural monuments, which are carried out by living organisms of various taxonomic groups. These include microorganisms, insects, birds, rodents, mosses, lichens, representatives of aquatic biocenoses. Special attention is paid to the morphological and physiological features of bacteria and mold fungi, as they play a major role in the deterioration of such materials as stone, polymers, fabrics, leather, etc. The "Special Biology" course involves conducting laboratory classes for better assimilation of the lecture material.
Assessment methods and criteria: Theoretical and laboratory classes are conducted in study groups. Current (CC) and semester (SC) controls are used to assess students' knowledge. Current control is carried out using a rating system for evaluating the success of students' studies for each completed topic of the program. Forms of control: current control (40 points) in the form of a survey in laboratory classes, control work; semester control (60 points) - credit. A total account is 100 points per discipline.
