Course Information
Course Description
The lecture component covers principles of microbiology, including metabolism, structure, function, genetics, and phylogeny of microbes. The course will also examine the interactions of microbes with each other, hosts, and the environment. The laboratory component of involves activities that will reinforce principles of microbiology, including metabolism, structure, function genetics, and phylogeny of microbes. This course will also examine the interactions of microbes with each other, hosts, and the environment. This course offers foundations in microbiological concepts for students majoring in biological sciences and others majoring in sciences that require an emphasis in biology (pre-medical, pre-dental, pre-veterinary medicine, pre-pharmacy, ect.) are provided. Laboratory includes the handling and pure-culture techniques needed for the isolation, growth and taxonomic elucidation of various microbes. Students may take this major track course (BIOL 2421) or the non-major's course (BIOL 2420), but not both.
