Description and Table of Contents
Description
Now in its third edition, Laboratory Exercises in Microbiology contains a variety of interactive activities and experiments that teach readers the basic concepts of microbiology. It covers methods that allow the safe movement or transfer of microbial cells from one type of growth environment, classification and identification of microbes, microbial biochemistry, and medical, food, and environmental microbiology. The labs are introduced in a clear and concise manner, while maintaining a reader-friendly tone.
