Objectives of the Course	Learn the fundamentals of microbiology such microbial anatomy, growth, metabolism, genetics and classification. Gain experimental experience regarding the basic microbiology lab skills. Know about some of application areas of microbiology such as food, industry and environment. Develop teamwork skills through a group term project.
Course Content	Microbiology touches upon almost every aspect of human life. In this course, the microbial world, how to observe and classify microorganisms, and the differences between the prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells will be introduced. It will also cover microbial metabolism, microbial growth and the control of microbial growth as well as the fundamental concepts in the microbial genetics and viruses. Additionally, the application areas of microbiology such as environment, food and industry will also be covered.
