BIOL 416 - Microbial Genetics
Credits: 4
Though invisible to the naked eye, microbes are all around us and play a vital role in biotechnology, agriculture, human health and in the health of the ecosystem that sustains us. Some microbes are detrimental to human health, while others help us digest food and protect us from harmful microbes. In this course, students will learn about the genetic mechanisms of microbial growth, the role that microbes play in human health and as human pathogens and agents of disease. Laboratory exercises will focus on two major independent research projects.
