Biology 185 Laboratory Manual & Student Study Guide offers a comprehensive list of laboratory experiments for a 100 level microbiology course, as well as, various supplemental laboratory experiments that cover core concepts and techniques for a microbiology lab. The theme of the laboratories is to develop the students understanding of the basic identification of an unknown microorganism through staining and chemical/enzymatic tests, as well as covering growth, isolation, contamination, and control of microorganisms.

 

The laboratory manual also contains some helpful information and tables involving microbiology concepts that can be used as a reference for course material. These concepts include history, cell structure, metabolism, chemistry, antibiotics, control of  microbial growth, and immunology and are intended as a quick reference of study material for microbiology.
