ENV 205 - Environmental Microbiology

Institution:

Wilkes University

Subject:

Environmental Engineering

Description:

The foundation concepts in microbiology that are important in environmental systems will be exploredin this course. This will include the function and formation of cellular components starting from basicmolecules (carbohydrates, fatty acids, amino acids, nucleotides) to the cellular structures that areformed (membranes, proteins, and the nucleic acids RNA & DNA); carbon, energy, and nutrient sourcesrequired for cellular growth; and the metabolic pathways for substrates common in environmentalsystems will be shown. Biodegradation and growth kinetic models will be introduced. Global cycles ofmajor elements (i.e. carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, etc.) will be explored.
