Prescott, Harley and Klein, Fourth edition. The objective of this course is to give an introduction to selective topics in Microbiology.
Microbiology is an extremely diverse discipline.
The course will concentrate on five microbiological sub-disciplines, microbial structure, metabolism and physiology, genetics, virology and immunology. Exam questions will primarily be short answer and short essay questions. In addition there will be four quizzes, each worth 5 points. Grades, however, will be calculated by dividing the points obtained by 400. Attend classes and compile a thorough set of lecture and study notes.
