EEMB 595BD: MICROBIAL ECOL&PHYS
University of California, Santa Barbara
In depth study of physiology and ecology of microorganisms with a focus on bacteria and archaea. Source material will be a mixture of graduate-level texts, review articles and primary literature. Weekly meetings will be int eractive and student-led. Our focus will be on fundamental processes in the metabolism and interactions of microbes (from foundational knowledge to re cent discoveries), but we will also analyze the methods used to study these processes in diverse natural ecosystems (e.g. sequencing, bioinformatics, microscopy, stable isotopes).
