BIOL2421 — Microbiology
BIOL 2421. MICROBIOLOGY (3-3-4) 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 environment. The laboratory component involves activities that will reinforce principles of microbiology, including metabolism, structure, function, genetics, and phylogeny of microbes. 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, etc.) are provided. Laboratory include the handling and pure-culture techniques needed for the isolation, growth and taxonomic elucidation of various microbes. Students may take this major's track course (BIOL 2421) or the non-major's course (BIOL 2420) but not both. Assessment Levels: R3, E3, M3. 26.0502
Prerequisites: BIOL-1406, CHEM-1412
