Goals This course provides detailed information about microorganisms, which are invisible to the naked eye, and aims to understand their life cycles, their relationships with each other and their environment, and their effects on human health.
Course Content This course will cover the classification of microorganisms, including photosynthetic prokaryotes, chemoautotrophs and methylotrophs, chemoheterotrophs, enteric bacteria, gram-positive spore-forming bacteria, actinomycete groups, non-spore-forming anaerobic microorganisms, and halophilic bacteria.
