  • BIOL 527: Microbial Ecology

    3.00 Credits
    Duquesne University

    In this course the interaction of microorganisms, primarily prokaryotes, with each other, plants, animals, and fungi, and the environment is explored. The course takes a systematic approach, examining these interactions at the ecosystem, organismal, subcellular, and historical level. Topics include microbial primary production and photosynthesis, biogeochemical cycling, the structure of microbial communities, modeling, symbiosis, and microbial evolution.

  • BIOL 529: Microbial Physiology

    3.00 Credits
    Duquesne University

    This course focuses on bacterial structure and function. Topics covered include mechanisms of protein secretion, structure, and synthesis of the cell envelope, and examination of the organelle associated with motility. The role of the features examined in terms of bacterial pathogenesis will be emphasized. Energy metabolism including chemoorganotrophy, chemolithotrophy, and phototrophy will also be covered.

  • BIOL 530W: DNA Mthds Popultn Genetics

    4.00 Credits
    Duquesne University

    This combined laboratory and lecture course examines the biology underlying the most common genetic marker systems used in the forensic community. The basics of population genetics and DNA analysis methodologies will be covered, including the CODIS database. Techniques include extraction protocols, amplication of DNA, methods for labeling DNA, and ultimately the construction of a genetic profile using an ABI 3100 Avant Genetic Analyzer. Mitochondrial DNA, the Y-chromosome, and Amelogenin, the most commonly used gender identification locus, will also be experimentally explored. Prerequisites: BIOL 468 and permission of the instructor if not in Forensic track. Laboratory and lecture.
