Experiments in Applied Microbiology is a book of open-ended experiments to teach applied bacteriology approaches and techniques. Divided into three sections, it emphasizes its multi-disciplinary nature: applications in both bacteriology courses and macrobiology courses and offers the opportunity of teaching basic fermentation and biocontrol approaches. This is one of the few "lab" books stressing the use of invertebrate animals vis-à-vis bacteriological material. This book is unique in its potential for a wide application, breaking new ground in hands-on bacteriology experience, and emphasizing the role of bacteria in both microbiological and macrobiological disciplines. Key Features: * Open-ended experimental design * Experiments are multi-disciplinary, featuring applied bacteriology procedures * Applicable to bacteriology and macrobiology courses * Experiments can be used singly or in multiple array * For individual or class * Offers alternate or parallel experiments * Laboratory lore integrating experiment background with insightful explanations * Stresses use of insects, mollusks, and other invertebrates as lab animals vis-à-vis bacteriological materials * Extensive sources, resources, and references given of material as well as the livestock used in the experiments
