من، میکروبیولوژیست: یک دوره تحقیقاتی مبتنی بر کشف در اکولوژی میکروبی و تکامل مولکولی

"This book enables students to develop all the basic skills and experience all the wonderment of conducting a meaningful research project from start to finish, all within a one-semester laboratory course. Students learn to reconstruct the phylogeny of a unique soil-based microbial community by analyzing 16S rRNA genes. In the process, students discover new microbes, novel sequences, and previously unknown phenotypes."--[book cover]. � Read more... Abstract: * Offers an innovative course on bacterial genomics, phylogeny, evolution and ecology. * Aimed at upper-division undergraduates, the manual allows them to experience the thrill of doing real research. * Using the lab manual, students begin by taking soil samples and working with those same samples throughout the course. � Read more... I, Microbiologist is a discovery-driven laboratory manual that proposes to get students engaged in research at a classroom setting. The course is set up to include lecture and laboratory materials in an all-inclusive manual. The strength of the proposed manual is in the emphasis on discovery-based science. Students will experience the trials and tribulations of laboratory research, learn to work independently, and form and test hypotheses in a controlled setting that can accommodate many more students than could be placed in individual faculty research labs. Ideal for Upper-division microbiology laboratory courses, particularly where the focus is on genomics, evolution and systematics. I, Microbiologist enables students to develop all the basic skills and experience all the wonderment of conducting a meaningful research project from start to finish--all within a one-semester laboratory course. This text was written for undergraduate courses in microbiology, microbial ecology, molecular evolution of microbes, and microbial genomics. The entire research project can be completed in as few as 10 weeks, with students divided into groups and with tasks divided among group members "This book enables students to develop all the basic skills and experience all the wonderment of conducting a meaningful research project from start to finish, all within a one-semester laboratory course.
