The following protocols have been written by David Fankhauser for his Microbiology Course at the University of Cincinnati Clermont College. They should not be reproduced without his express written permission. Thank you. Links?

I will post grades here at the end of the Summer.

LINKS: Questions about microbes? Here is a rich resource page of information about microbes at microbes.info

Here is a directory containing some of my lecture notes in *.pdf form. Note that they are outline form, and informal. If you see errors in them please let me know.Even with these notes printed out, I urge students to take their own detailed notes in class for several reasons. First, the act of writing is very important in creating a long term memory in your brain. Second, my lecture notes are only guidelines for my lectures. My students soon recognize that I often go on a tangent which may not be in my prepared notes. Third, when you review your own handwritten notes, you will see areas which are not clear, and provide you an opportunity to clarify the question at the beginning of the next class.

And here is the directory of *pdf files of my Microbiology Lab protocols.

The following are pages which contain links to web images related to lectures presented.

The History of Microbiology.
The History of the Germ Theory of Disease.
Essentials of microscopy and staining.
Prokaryotic Anatomy
Enzymology and Metabolism
Catabolism
Microbial Fermentation (Part of previous page...)
Requirements for Microbial Growth and Media
Control of Microbial Growth, Physical Means
Control of Microbial Growth, Chemical Means
Microbial Genetics

Here is a page of illustrations related to the history of microbiology.

Here are collages of students from previous years:
