MICRO 3200: Molecular and Cellular Bacteriology
Credits: 4. Contact Hours: Lecture 4.
Prereq: BIOL 3130; MICRO 3020; CHEM 3320
A systems perspective of bacterial growth, survival, and cellular differentiation by integrating physiological and genetic principles. Emphasis is on prokaryotes although unicellular eukaryotes are also discussed. Topics include the structure, function, and assembly of cell components, molecular and genomic techniques, bioenergetics and metabolism, regulation of gene expression, genetic adaptation, stress tolerance, biofilms, and cell-cell interactions and communications.
