This inexpensive, black-and-white manual provides a straightforward, step-by-step, concise and flexible alternative to other large microbiology laboratory manuals. It can be used by itself as a required lab text, but it is also designed to be used in conjunction with A Photographic Atlas for the Microbiology Laboratory.
This edition features an all new art program. Like the previous edition, the exercises are arranged by functional group within each section, allowing you to select the exercises you want to teach within a set of lab outcomes. Frequent page and figure number references for the Photographic Atlas for the Microbiology Laboratory are included in each section. A useful appendix containing recipes for all media, stains, and reagents used helps students and instructors with lab preparation. The organization of the Exercises and the Atlas helps students learn basic steps and techniques prior to attempting and applying more complicated techniques.
The exercises in the manual feature references to the Atlas (as appropriate); a materials list; the exercise protocol; results record; precautions and references in a simple-to-use yet comprehensive lab experience. Two exercises on identifying unknown bacterial species and exercises on identification of stages and structures of bacteria, fungi, protozoa and helminths are also featured.
