General MicrobiologyCOURSE SYLLABUS
Course Code: Btech 20Course Title: General MicrobiologyCredit Units: 4 UnitsTime Allotment: 54 hrs.Course Description:
General Microbial Biology consists of both lecture and laboratory. The course will cover eukaryotic andprokaryotic microbes and viruses, but will emphasize bacteria. This course will provide a conceptual andexperimental background in microbiology sufficient to enable students to take more advanced courses in relatedfields. After taking this course, students are provided with understanding and knowledge on the value of microbes inlife rather than as disease agents. It is expected that the students will be motivated to develop their innovation onexploiting microbes for positive purposes in human living.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
After completion of this course, students are expected to be able to understand the ubiquity ofmicroorganisms and their structure, chemistry, and metabolism. Differentiate the structural and functional
characteristics of prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Understand energy metabolism of chemotrophs and phototrophs.
Understand up-to-date molecular recombinant technology, and understand the potential of microorganisms in
industries and ecosystems.
