| SCOPE | |||||||||
| This course introduces the diversity of microorganisms in all three domains of life. The course covers prokaryotic cell structure and function, growth, genetics, and metabolism. The course will survey five major groups of microorganisms: eubacteria, archaea, protozoa, fungi and viruses including ecology, their role in human disease and their applications in medicine, industry and warfare. Cadets have the opportunity to explore both a viral and a bacterial disease in-depth and present their findings in a briefing and a paper. The 18-hour laboratory program focuses on practical applications of concepts covered in class, with a particular emphasis on the eubacteria. The lab program culminates with a hands-on laboratory examination. | |||||||||

| SCOPE | |||||||||
| This course is an introduction to general bacteriology. The course starts with the structure prokaryotic cells and the major biochemical processes they carry out. The remainder of the material covers a broad range of information including genetics and genetic exchange, epidemiology, microbial diseases, applications of microorganisms in ecology, sewage disposal, food production, biodegradation and molecular biology. Viruses and viral diseases are also examined. Extensive laboratory exercises focus the classroom material with practical applications. Labs will cover aseptic techniques, growth, identification of microorganisms, enrichment cultures, effects of environmental factors and antimicrobial agents on growth, and the microbiology of food, water, soil and sediments. | |||||||||
