Diversity, Benefits and Detriments of Microbes

Diversity, Benefits and Detriments of Microbes

Microbiology is both a basic and an applied science. It is not a single subject! It has many areas of specialization, including bacteriology, mycology (study of fungi), phycology (study of algae), virology, medical microbiology & immunology, public health, food microbiology, biotechnology, microbial genetics, and cell & molecular biology. In this assignment, we will discuss some of the various disciplines associated with microbiology and the beneficial microbes associated with them.

For your main discussion post (first post),
A. You must choose from among the beneficial organisms below.
B. It is required of all students to reserve their discussion topic using the following procedure:
I. Click Week 1 Discussion, above, to enter the Discussion. 
II. Click Create Thread and type the number and scientific name of the organism you will discuss in the subject line to reserve your topic on a first come/first serve basis according to the classroom date/time stamp. Repeat main posts on the same organism are not permitted.
C. To post your main discussion you will Reply to your topic intent post.
