Environmental Microbiology: Lesson One

As part of the curriculum of Environmental Science, I give lectures in Environmental Microbiology.

Click on this link to download the first lesson. The topic is a background and introduction to Microbiolgy. Several topics are covered including:

• A short history


• Morphology


• Taxonomy


• Motility

Except for the first sheet, the presentation is completely in English. The textbook used as a basis to this presentation (and a book that I highly recommend) is Brock: Biology of Microorganisms.
