Microbiology

Northwestern Polytechnical University via XuetangX

Overview

Microbiology is an important basis for the development of modern biotechnology. The purpose of this course is to enable students to master the basic knowledge of microbial morphology, structure, nutrition, physiology, metabolism, growth, genetics and variation, infection and immunity, classification and identification, and microbial ecology, and understand the brief history of microbiology development and microbial application in industry, agriculture, medicine, food hygiene and environmental protection.

To cultivate students' ability to use the theoretical knowledge they have learned to solve practical problems in daily production and life, carry out relevant research and technological innovation. At the same time, the course combines the frontier of microbial development and its application in molecular biology, genetic engineering, immunology and synthetic biology to cultivate leading talents in the field of life science with international vision, professional technical exchange and cooperation in microbiology, and interdisciplinary ability.

The ancients said that " From the first small beginnings one can see how things will develop ".; If you are interested in this small microorganism, let's learn about the past and present life of microorganisms, explore the future of microorganisms, expand the application of microorganisms, and "see; big things through small ones".
