Microbiology

This specialization covers organisms too small to see: bacterial structure and classification, viruses and bacteriophages, fungi, algae and protozoa, microbial metabolism and growth kinetics, culture media and enumeration, sterilisation and control, microbial genetics, and immunology. Expect the applied divisions -- medical, food, industrial, agricultural and environmental microbiology -- and rigorous aseptic technique, staining and identification in the laboratory.
