The study of microorganisms today is much more complex than it was even a decade ago.
Historically, the emphasis has been on microbial morphology and the isolation and identification of organisms in the laboratory on the basis of morphology, staining properties, etc. While these considerations are important, the major approach to the study of microbiology today is a biochemical one.
Accordingly, I assume that all of you have met the prescribed prerequisites for this course (Biology 220 and either Biology 210 or Biology 213), and for each of the topics presented, we will attempt to understand the underlying biochemical mechanisms.
