Microbiology

Huazhong Agricultural University via XuetangX

Overview

The Microbiology of Huazhong Agricultural University is an online course based on the national excellent resource sharing course "Microbiology" and the national bilingual teaching demonstration course "Microbiology".

Microbiology is a discipline that studies the laws of microorganisms and their life activities. The content includes the morphological structure of microorganisms, growth and reproduction, physiology and biochemistry, genetic variation, ecological distribution, infection immunity, classification and identification; the relationship between microorganisms and other organisms and their diversity; the application of microorganisms, etc. It is not only an introductory professional course for biology-related majors, but also an independent subject with great potential at the forefront of life sciences, and its related knowledge is closely connected to human production and life.

Studying this course can help you make better use of beneficial microorganisms, prevent, control and eliminate harmful microorganisms, protect your health, and maintain ecological balance.

For students interested in postgraduate entrance examinations or studying abroad, this course can help you consolidate the theoretical foundation of microbiology and master the frontier hot spots of microbiology.
