Our department is very interested in enhancing the understanding and encouraging the interest in microbiology, particularly among the young. Therefore we participate in events like Open Uni or IBN student days.
Open Uni in Hamburg Klein Flottbek
At the microbiology stand the visitors discovered the world of microorganisms, which are not visible to the naked eye, through microscopes..
„Bacteria are everywhere“. With this slogan the department of Microbiology and Biotechnology presented itself on Saturday the 13rd of June 2009 when the Open Uni took place. A lecture by Prof. Streit and a little stand attracted numerous, curious visitors. According to the slogan „research to touch“ all visitors got an insight into the Microbiology and Biotechnology research at the University of Hamburg and beyond.
Especially the young visitors, our future researchers, marveled at agar plates, on which bacteria can grow and become visible through formation of colonies. Employees of the department explained the world of bacteria to the interested and offered a peek through the microscope to make the invisible visible.
