BIOL 46 Microbiology, with Lab

This course teaches the fundamentals of modern microbiology, the study of organisms smaller than the eye can see. These include a wide range of species for across the tree of life, which carry great importance for elemental cycling in the wild, as well as in an enormous variety of contexts more directly connected to human health, including food production, water treatment, and pathogens that cause disease. Topics will range from the basics of bacterial cell structure and metabolism to the complex multi-species communities that make up part of the human microbiome.  Identical to BIOL 44, but with the laboratory.  No student may receive credit for both BIOL 44 and BIOL 46.
