Introduction to Bio 425 Aimed at Premed., Predent., Grad. School – not for nurses Assumes solid Senior-level Biology background Content heavy Good note taking skills needed Attendance as needed Seating Chart to help me try to learn names Interesting Lab where you will learn many basic Biology skills
My Goals and Expectations My Goals: To teach an organized, interesting course To give fair tests which are graded and returned promptly To cover the major content of Microbiology and share my personal experiences in Microbiology My Expectations: I expect Senior-level work Attendance and read text as necessary Do not disrupt class (i.e. tardiness, leaving class early, etc)

Microbiology Study of Germs? Bacteria - Bacteriology
Viruses • Study of Viruses– Virology
Algae Study of Algae– Phycology
Immunology Study of the immune response
Virus – nonliving Bacteria – living cells Size – think small!
Prokaryotes • Prokaryotes – No Nucleus • 2 Kingdoms - Domains • Bacteria • Archaea ??
Eukaryotes- Contain Nucleus- Higher Organisms?- More Complex
Laboratory Culture Pure Culture Contamination Culture Media
Why Study Microbiology? • Understand infectious Diseases • Medicine • Understand Environmental Processes • Biogeochemistry • Industrial Applications • Biotechnology
