Laboratory Applications in Microbiology: A Case Study Approach uses real-life case studies as the basis for exercises in the laboratory. This is the only microbiology lab manual focusing on this means of instruction, an approach particularly applicable to the microbiology laboratory. The author has carefully organized the exercises so that students develop a solid intellectual base beginning with a particular technique, moving through the case study, and finally applying new knowledge to unique situations beyond the case study.

Laboratory Applications in Microbiology: A Case Study Approach has been designed to help create accomplished microbiologists. Case studies illustrate the applicability of skills in the microbiology lab, while still holding the attention of every student who has ever said “do we have to know this?” Each exercise has been structured from the bottom up, scaffolding knowledge and relying on metacognition to ensure students understand the goals of an exercise, anticipate errors, acquire the skills needed for success, and eventually master the topic at hand.;/div>

Designed for major and non-major students taking an introductory level microbiology lab course. Whether your course caters to pre-health professional students, microbiology majors or pre-med students, everything they need for a thorough introduction to the subject of microbiology is right here.
