Title:一般微生物学
学期批准: 2022年秋季
Five-Year Review Semester2027年夏季
学期结束2028年夏季
目录描述: This general microbiology course is designed for those with a basic understanding of biology and chemistry. The course will cover the morphology, 繁殖, 新陈代谢, microbial and molecular genetics, 生物技术, 生态, and diversity of microorganisms. An emphasis will be placed on 细菌, 病毒, 真菌, 原生生物, and their role in the environment and human 疾病. The lecture must be taken concurrently with the lab BIOL 2205.
学期提供:春天
Credit/Time Requirement: Credit: 3; 讲座: 3; Lab: 0
先决条件: CHEM 1210 or CHEM 1110 and BIOL 1610 or BIOL 2420, or instructor permission
并修课程:生物学报2205
的理由: The course will advance the students understanding of the biology of microorganisms, and microbial and molecular genetics. The course follows the recommendations of the American Society for Microbiology and will serve as a core course for microbiology majors. 除了, it will serve as a support course for other biology and pre-professional majors. Many pharmacy schools and veterinary medicine schools now require a general microbiology course before students can be accepted. Clinical laboratory science majors also need microbiology for science majors. Similar courses are taught at other USHE institutions.
Student 学习成果:
Students will be able to identify structures that are found in 细菌, 古生菌, eukaryotic cells and acellular agents. Students will be assessed via short answer, 论文的问题, and other questions on exams and optionally via quizzes and/or written assignments.
Students will be able to determine how microbes grow, how growth is controlled, and metabolic pathways found in microbes. Students will be assessed via short answer, 论文的问题, and other questions on exams and optionally via quizzes and/or written assignments.
Students will be able to understand the diversity of microbes in the world around them. Students will be assessed via short answer, 论文的问题, and other questions on exams and optionally via quizzes and/or written assignments.
Students will be able to determine how microbes help sustain life on earth as we know it. Students will be assessed via short answer, 论文的问题, and other questions on exams and optionally via quizzes and/or written assignments.
Students will be learn how microbes 导致 疾病 in humans and other animals and how the immune system protects us. Students will be assessed via short answer, 论文的问题, and other questions on exams and optionally via quizzes and/or written assignments.
Students will learn how 细菌l genes are structured and regulated and how they contribute to recombinant DNA technology. Students will be assessed via short answer, 论文的问题, and other questions on exams and optionally via quizzes and written assignments.
Students will read and discuss key scientific literature to gain skills necessary to discern credibility of sources of scientific information. Students will demonstrate their awareness of such concepts through case studies and/or library projects.
内容:
Course content will be covered by reading assignments in the textbooks, 施舍, lecture and class discussion, and library project(s). Any topic not so covered remains the responsibility of the student to explore. Brief history of microbiology; Microbial cell biology and physiology: information flow within a cell, regulation of cellular activities, cellular structure and function, cell energy 新陈代谢); Microbial and molecular genetics: inheritance of genetic information, 导致, consequences and uses of mutations, exchange and acquisition of genetic information; Microbial growth: measurement and growth curves, 成长的数学, nutrient limiting and continuous culture, environmental factors on growth; Interactions and impact of microorganisms and humans: physical and chemical control of microorganisms, antibiotics and chemotherapy, 共生关系, microbial pathogenic mechanisms, 疾病, 食品微生物学, 基因工程, 生物技术; Interactions and impact of microorganisms in the environment: microorganisms and their role in ecosystems, marine and terrestrial environments; Viruses and microbial diversity: microbial taxonomy, 古生菌, 细菌, 真菌, 藻类, 原生生物 The diversity of the microbial world will be discussed. 除了, there will be discussions on how microbes affect humans in regard to age, 比赛, other socio-economic backgrounds and overall general health.
Key Performance Indicators:
Midterm Exams 30 to 70%
图书馆 Projects 10 to 20%
案例研究0 - 10%
Written Assignments 0 to 10%
测验0 - 10%
Compressive Final Eam 20 to 30%
Representative Text and/or Supplies:
Representative text include: Prescott's Microbiology, Willey, Sherwood, Woolverton.
教育学声明:
Many teaching methods will be used to encourage students to be involved when possible. 这些包括, but not be limited to: traditional lecture with feedback questions, flipping some parts of the class where possible, encouraging group work and study groups outside of class, and aligning the lectures with the labs so cohorts of students can work together as much as possible. Instructors will work to become aware of the unique experiences of all students from diverse backgrounds by creating a positive classroom environment through attitude, 预期, 行为, and learning students' names/backgrounds/identities.
