Annotation: "I, Microbiologist" is a discovery-driven laboratory manual that proposes to get students engaged in research at a classroom setting. The course is set up to include lecture and laboratory materials in an all-inclusive manual. The strength of the proposed manual is in the emphasis on discovery-based science. Students will experience the trials and tribulations of laboratory research, learn to work independently, and form and test hypotheses in a controlled setting that can accommodate many more students than could be placed in individual faculty research labs. Ideal for Upper-division microbiology laboratory courses, particularly where the focus is on genomics, evolution and systematics.

Publisher Description:

Enables students to develop all the basic skills and experience all the wonderment of conducting a meaningful research project from start to finish.

  • Features detailed, well constructed experimental protocols that enable students to generate results in a short period of time.
  • Develops the skills that students need to initiate, conduct, and interpret the results of actual research projects.
  • Gives students valuable experience using contemporary methods to evaluate scientific hypotheses and communicate results.
  • Offers a unique, hands-on approach that emphasizes experimentation and critical thinking to learn core concepts in microbial genomics, microbial ecology, and molecular evolution.
  • Underscores the value of developing working relationships with other scientists.
  • Builds an appreciation and understanding of the ubiquity of microbes and the great diversity of the microbial world.
