Course Catalog Description
Students will become proficient in basic microbiology research methods and experimental design. The course covers fundamental principles and techniques of the microbiology lab including sterile technique, culturing, and microscopy. Students will learn these methods in the context of two structured, discovery-based research projects: predicting and analyzing the phenotypes of E. coli metabolic mutants, and isolating and characterizing bacteria with novel properties from environmental samples. Student will synthesize their results in the format of a Journal of Bacteriology research article and a scientific poster presentation.
