BIO 333 MICROBIAL ECOLOGY

This course focuses on the ecology and evolution of microbes with an emphasis on bacteria, fungi and viruses. As new molecular technology drives our understanding of these microscopic organisms, the diversity and prominence of these microbes, how they interact with their surroundings and the important roles that they play are becoming clearer. The lecture portion of the course includes student discussion of primary literature. The lab portion of the course is centered on molecular and culture-based analysis of environmental samples. Three class hours and one laboratory per week.
