Product Information

I've heard time and time again that when these books are purchased in quantity, that they don't always have retail packaging, but they are usually shrink-wrapped with retail stickers from the publisher.

The authoritative text for introductory microbiology, Brock Biology of Microorganisms continues its long tradition of impeccable scholarship, accuracy, and outstanding illustrations and photos. During her postdoctoral fellowship, Bender worked on the genetic regulation of sulfate-reducing bacteria in the laboratory of Judy Wall at the University of Missouri–Columbia. No missing or damaged pages, no creases or tears, no underlining or highlighting of text, and no writing in the margins.Following three years of postdoctoral training in the Department of Microbiology, Indiana University, where he worked on phototrophic bacteria with Howard Gest, he moved to Southern Illinois University Carbondale, where he is now Professor of Microbiology. Brock Biology of Microorganisms speaks to today's students while maintaining the depth and precision science majors need. As an undergraduate student he participated in a cooperative education program, gaining experience in several microbiology and immunology laboratories. Students benefit from self-paced tutorials that feature personalized wrong-answer feedback and hints that emulate the office-hour experience and help keep students on track. It balances the most current coverage with the major classical and contemporary concepts essential for understanding microbiology.

NOTE: This edition features the same content as the traditional text in a convenient, three-hole-punched, loose-leaf version. I haven't read all of it, but as a textbook used in a lab course, it could do much better work in explaining and elaborating and not just summarizing (and not very accurately) banal ideas.

His graduate work involved study of hot spring phototrophic bacteria under the direction of Thomas D.

Brock Biology of Microorganisms includes MasteringMicrobiology® , an online homework, tutorial, and assessment product designed to improve results by helping students quickly master concepts both in and outside the classroom. He teaches an advanced course in immunology and presents immunology and host defense lectures to medical students.The aseptic technique is a collection of practices that allow for the preparation and maintenance of sterile nutrient media and solutions.
