Course objectives
ALGAE
Teacher: Mª Carmen López Rodríguez (USC, Campus Santiago)
Objectives
The term "algae" brings together many different agencies. Knowledge of these organisms is based on their study from different points of view.
The specific objectives of this topic are:
a) To describe the anatomy and reproduction of algae.
b) To know the different taxonomic groups based on basic characters: chemical and cytological
c) The knowledge of the ecology, distribution, and industrial applications.

FUNGI and Lichenized Fungi
Teachers: Ignacio Garcia Gonzalez (USC. Campus Lugo); Regina Carballal Duran (USC, Campus Santiago); and Graciela Paz Bermúdez (UVIGO).
Objectives
To expand the knowledge about the biology, ecology, uses of fungi and lichens, and the importance and relevance of fungal and lichen flora of Galicia. This knowledge will enable the research in mycology and its application to the conservation of species or habitats of particular importance for biodiversity.
