-
1.00 - 6.00 Credits
Current topics in microbiology will be presented through a lecture, discussion and/or laboratory format. Topics will vary, as appropriate, and may cover any area of microbiology including studies on bacteria, algae, fungi, protozoa, viruses, biotechnology, mechanisms of pathogenesis and immunology. (OC).
-
4.00 Credits
Advanced treatment of the interplay of microorganisms and the environment. Topics will include soil and water microbiology (bacteria, archaea, fungi, algae, protozoans and viruses) and plant-microbe interactions (pathogenic and symbiotic) as well as the role of microorganisms in decomposition, nutrient cycling (carbon, nitrogen, sulfur and metal cycling), wastewater and biosolids treatment, and bioremediation. 3 hr lec, 1-4 hr lab. For graduate credit elect MICR 505.
-
0.00 Credits
This is the required Lab for MICR 405.
-
3.00 Credits
A course that emphasizes the genetics and molecular biology of bacteria and their viruses. Topics include DNA structure and replication, recombination, DNA repair, genetic mapping, mechanisms of gene transfer, regulation of gene expression, mutagenesis, and recombinant DNA techniques. Three hours lecture, four hours laboratory per week. (AY,F).
-
3.00 Credits
The course provides a general description of the history and nature of animal virus disease. Emphasis is placed on the pathogenesis and clinical description of specific diseases. Three hours lecture.
-
1.00 Credits
This course emphasizes the use of advanced microbiological techniques for understanding the genetics and physiology of microorganisms. Experiments focus on the understanding of general microbial phenomena, such as nutrition, metabolism and biochemistry; protein and nucleic acid synthesis; energy generation, enzyme regulation, membrane transport, motility, differentiation, cellular communication and the behavior of populations.
-
4.00 Credits
The first half of this course deals with bacterial viruses, with emphasis on classical events in this field. The second half surveys the field of animal viruses, with emphasis on recent discoveries, including replication, pathogenesis, and viral association with cancers. Three hours lecture, four hours laboratory. (AY,W).
-
4.00 Credits
A detailed study of the field of immunology. Among the topics covered are various aspects of the immunological response, such as humoral or cell-mediated immunity, cell-cell interactions, and immunology as related to the cause and prevention of disease. Three hours lecture, four hours laboratory. (AY,F).
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to pathogenic microorganisms and mechanisms of microbial pathogenicity. Disease-causing bacteria, fungi, viruses, and protozoa are studied. Laboratories emphasize clinical approaches to isolation, identification, and treatment. Three hours lecture, four hours laboratory. (AY,F).
-
3.00 Credits
An in-depth examination of the physiology of microorganisms. Areas of emphasis include the growth and nutrition of microorganisms, the development of viruses, the microbial degradation of organic compounds, the regulation of degradation reactions, and the biosynthesis of uniquely microbial compounds and secondary metabolites, such as antibiotics and toxins. Consideration is given to the natural environments of specific microorganisms. Three hours lecture, four hours laboratory. (AY,W).
