This inexpensive exercise manual provides a straightforward, step-by-step, concise alternative to large microbiology laboratory manuals. It can be used by itself as a required lab text and is also designed to be used in conjunction with A Photographic Atlas for the Microbiology Laboratory, Fifth Edition, by Leboffe & Pierce, with exercises keyed to specific images.

The Laboratory Exercises in Microbiology, 5e by Pollack, et al. presents exercises and experiments covered in a 1 or 2-semester undergraduate microbiology laboratory course for allied health students. The labs are introduced in a clear and concise manner, while maintaining a student-friendly tone. The manual contains a variety of interactive activities and experiments that teach students the basic concepts of microbiology. The 5th edition contains new and updated labs that cover a wide array of topics, including identification of microbes, microbial biochemistry, medical microbiology, food microbiology, and environmental microbiology.

Exercises for the Microbiology Laboratory, Fourth Edition by Michael J. Leboffe and Burton E. Pierce is an inexpensive, black-and-white manual that provides a concise and flexible alternative to other large microbiology laboratory manuals. It can be used by itself as a required lab text, but is also designed to be used in conjunction with A Photographic Atlas for the Microbiology Laboratory.

This full-color atlas is intended as a visual reference to supplement laboratory manuals or instructor-authored exercises for introductory microbiology laboratory courses. The atlas can be used alone but also has been designed to be used in conjunction with Exercises for the Microbiology Laboratory, Fifth Edition, by Leboffe & Pierce, with images keyed to specific exercises.

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.

Intended to act as a supplement to introductory microbiology laboratory manuals. This full-color atlas can also be used in conjunction with your own custom laboratory manual.

The Microbiology Laboratory Manual by Pollack presents exercises and experiments on microbiology laboratory. The labs are introduced in a clear and concise manner, while maintaining a reader-friendly tone. The manual contains a variety of interactive activities and experiments that teach the basic concepts of microbiology. It also covers methods that allow the safe movement or transfer of microbial cells from one type of growth environment, classification and identification of microbes, microbial biochemistry, medical, food and environmental microbiology.

Task-oriented. Accessible. Comprehensive. The second edition of Microbiology Laboratory Exercises, by Margaret Barnett, is all this and much more. Filled with extensive, step-by-step instructions and solid coverage of basic laboratory techniques, this introductory microbiology lab manual brings a unique appeal to both students and instructors. With an emphasis on pathogenic bacteria, this second edition also serves as one of the strongest, medically focused microbiology lab manuals available.

As a group of organisms that are too small to see and best known for being agents of disease and death, microbes are not always appreciated for the numerous supportive and positive contributions they make to the living world. Designed to support a course in microbiology, Microbiology: A Laboratory Experience permits a glimpse into both the good and the bad in the microscopic world. The laboratory experiences are designed to engage and support student interest in microbiology as a topic, field of study, and career. This text provides a series of laboratory exercises compatible with a one-semester undergraduate microbiology or bacteriology course with a three- or four-hour lab period that meets once or twice a week. The design of the lab manual conforms to the American Society for Microbiology curriculum guidelines and takes a ground-up approach -- beginning with an introduction to biosafety and containment practices and how to work with biological hazards. From there the course moves to basic but essential microscopy skills, aseptic technique and culture methods, and builds to include more advanced lab techniques. The exercises incorporate a semester-long investigative laboratory project designed to promote the sense of discovery and encourage student engagement. The curriculum is rigorous but manageable for a single semester and incorporates best practices in biology education.
