Explorative Microbiology is intended to serve as a supplement to the material discussed in Microbiology. It helps students to see the real-world, everyday application of Microbiology.
Explorative Microbiology discusses:
- important molecular biological tools that scientists have harvested from microbes to solve crimes, cure diseases, and do basic research.
- how microorganisms influence the food you eat, the water you drink, and whether you can digest certain foods.
- emerging pathogenic microorganisms and cutting-edge technology that can be used for detection of these pathogens.
