BIO 226 R is designed to cover the following:

1. Microbial cell structure and its relationship to essential cell functions.
2. Microbial genetics-maintenance and transfer of genetic information.

This is an introductory course in Microbiology. We will cover a wide range of topics from cell structure to Genomics. During lectures (on Mondays and Wednesdays) besides covering the basics, I will try to bring as much current information as possible, including interesting topics that are not listed in the lecture schedule.
