Why should we study microbiology? Two major reasons microbiology deals with many important practical problems in medicine, agriculture, and industry. Biochemical and genetic study As a basic biological science As an applied biological science Provides research tools

• the experimental basis of microbiology • the general principles of cell structure and function • the classification and diversity of microorganisms • biochemical processes in cells • the genetic basis of microbial growth and evolution • the ecological activities of microorganisms in nature. We will discuss:

CONCEPT CHECKS summarize each section and provide quiz questions, so students can evaluate their understanding as they progress through the chapter. CONCEPT LINKS alert students to material that builds on previous concepts and provides a useful cross-referencing system for the entire book. Outstanding MICROGRAPHS are included throughout. TABLES have been redesigned to make key information even more accessible to students

The ART in the ninth edition has been thoroughly revised, but still maintains the use of consistent color coding. BOLDFACED TERMS are defined in the Glossary. FEATURE BOXES provide additional, relevant information. Some take an historical perspective, some focus on techniques and applications, and others explore a text topic in greater depth

REVIEW QUESTIONS challenge the student’s mastery of chapter concepts. APPLICATION QUESTIONS allow students to test their analytical and problem-solving skills. APPENDICES provide useful tutorial and reference information
