Summary: The classic resource for undergraduate microbiology laboratory courses just keeps getting better. The self-contained clearly illustrated exercises and full-color format make Microbiological Applications: Laboratory Manual in General Microbiology the ideal lab manual. Appropriate for either a majors or non-majors lab course this manual assumes no prior organic chemistry course has been taken. Features • Content has been updated throughout especially in Part 8: Identification of Unknown Bacteria and in Part 13: Medical Microbiology and Immunology to include the latest research. Also updated was Exercise 78: A Synthetic Epidemic in keeping with lab safety requirements. • Benson s Complete Version (78 experiments) provides the largest variety of laboratory exercises to accommodate all laboratory curricula--from a medical emphasis to an environmental emphasis and everything between. (A Short Version with 60 experiments is also available.) • Full-color examples of lab test results appear in the lab exercises so students have an immediate reference against which they can compare their results. • Because you may prefer or require a different way to stage a lab exercise this lab manual includes suggestions for alternative approaches and procedures in the appendixes and in the Instructor s Manual. • The Instructor s Manual provides a materials list and guidelines for conducting all the experiments as well as answers to the lab exercises. It can be found at www.mhhe.com/labcentral • Customize this book through Primis Online! This title is part of the Primis Online Database: www.mhhe.com/primis/online. You can customize this book to meet your exact needs and mix and match with other items on Primis Online--allowing you maximum choice and flexibility. Instructors can also choose between two delivery formats: custom printed books (in black and white) or custom eBooks (in color).
