Molecular genetics, physiology, and diversity of bacteria, as well as presentation of data in a poster or oral presentation format. Faculty who teach the course, together with additional faculty, will provide students with feedback on their presentations.

Genome editing technology has exploded since the recent discovery of bacterial CRISPR systems. Our goal is to present the material while new applications are emerging every day and before a textbook is written! Cutting edge knowledge will enable you to shape the future.

Molecular biology and genetics of plant-microbe interactions, including infection processes by plant pathogens, initial signaling, signal transduction, and plant responses, and molecular analysis of disease resistance.

Offered Fall every even-numbered year.

Ultrastructure, physiology, genetics, ecology, metabolic diversity, evolution, and phylogeny of bacteria and archaea.

Critical analysis and discussion of recent advances in microbiology research through oral presentation. Specific topics may vary but will emphasize molecular biology, physiology, and ecology of prokaryotes.

Independent research in the primary literature in selected areas of microbiology. ​​​​​  Non traditional format:  Directed Study.

Students will study the human effect on the environment through their use of antimicrobials. Application of microbiological laboratory techniques with an emphasis on biochemical analysis and antimicrobial-resistant bacteria identification caused by human consumption and disposal of antimicrobial drugs that arise in natural water systems will allow students to apply their knowledge.

Microorganisms with special emphasis on laboratory research being conducted at the University of Georgia.

Microorganisms, with special emphasis on bacteria, their structure, function, diversity, and importance to man.
