LSCI 304 - MICROBIOLOGY

Hours: 5
Lecture and laboratory

Microbiology explores the vast world of organisms usually invisible to the unaided eye. Topics include the biochemistry, morphology, metabolism, and genetics of bacteria, viruses, prions and other microbial life forms. In addition an examination of the dynamic impact of microbes on humans, the immune response and the role of microbes in the environment are also studied. Laboratory experience stresses techniques and methodology of identification, culturing, inhibition and destruction of microbes. These culminate in an investigative experience requiring identification of unknown microbes.
Prerequisites: LSCI 202 or LSCI 204 or ESCI 205 or permission. LSCI 301 is recommended.
