A Laboratory Guide In Bacteriology

Excerpt from A Laboratory Guide in Bacteriology: For the Use of Students, Teachers, and Practitioners The Considerations which led the writer to add this laboratory guide of bacteriology to the number of such guides already in existence were of various nature and may be brie y set forth here. Probably no branch of biological science has advanced so rapidly during the past few years as the science of bacteriology, and it is difficult even for an active labora tory worker to keep abreast of this advance. A text book or guide fixes the status of the science at the time of its writing, but almost before it leaves the press it becomes antiquated. Revisions, corrections, and addi tions are necessary at short intervals in order to keep a publication of this kind approximately up to date. There is therefore, almost at any given moment room for a new publication to fill the want of a progressive instructor for a guide that gives the latest accepted rules and practices of the laboratory. The value of such a publication will be enhanced by a plan and arrangement of sufficient exibility and latitude to allow the instructor and the student to enter such additions and corrections as serve to bridge over the time between editions.

This manual is designed to satisfy the needs of students enrolled in؟ B.Sc. degree program in Biological, Microbiological, Agricultural and health professions. It provides؟ well balanced and chosen collection of relevant practical Microbiology Laboratory experiments. Students will perform experiments and report on quantitative as well as descriptive data pertaining to the concept they are tackling. The experiments in this manual stresses the quantitative methods, experimental controls, data analysis as well as report writing. The experiments were designed to provide maximum flexibility although each experiment represents؟ well defined concept, several experiments may be performed concurrently depending upon availability of tools and equipments as well as time constraints and students numbers in each laboratory session. Several appendixes appear at the end of the manual which include staining techniques, media composition and some bacterial diagnostic plates.

As a group of organisms that are too small to see and best known for being agents of disease and death, microbes are not always appreciated for the numerous supportive and positive contributions they make to the living world. Designed to support a course in microbiology, Microbiology: A Laboratory Experience permits a glimpse into both the good and the bad in the microscopic world. The laboratory experiences are designed to engage and support student interest in microbiology as a topic, field of study, and career. This text provides a series of laboratory exercises compatible with a one-semester undergraduate microbiology or bacteriology course with a three- or four-hour lab period that meets once or twice a week. The design of the lab manual conforms to the American Society for Microbiology curriculum guidelines and takes a ground-up approach -- beginning with an introduction to biosafety and containment practices and how to work with biological hazards. From there the course moves to basic but essential microscopy skills, aseptic technique and culture methods, and builds to include more advanced lab techniques. The exercises incorporate a semester-long investigative laboratory project designed to promote the sense of discovery and encourage student engagement. The curriculum is rigorous but manageable for a single semester and incorporates best practices in biology education.

Excerpt from A Laboratory Guide in Bacteriology: For the Use of Students, Teachers In this third edition the general plan of the book has not been changed. The progress of science necessitated alterations and additions which have been incorporated in the text. A fermentation chart of cardboard has been added to the colony counter in the back cover.
