This 2-credit hour course will introduce students to some of the basic techniques used in the study of physiology, biochemistry, and genetics of microorganisms. Students will isolate a soil microorganism at the beginning of the term and study its properties in subsequent periods. The organisms will also be examined for the presence of plasmids and for their susceptibility to bacterial viruses. This course, taken together with Biology 370, meets the upper level laboratory requirement for the Biology major.
