Lecture
A microbiology primer
Description
This lecture provides a primer on microbiology, covering the study of unicellular organisms, their role in the environment and human activities, morphology, size variations, cell structure differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, and the composition of cell walls in Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. It also explores the unique characteristics of Archaea's cytoplasmic membrane and cell wall, the formation of endospores, and the importance of proton-motive force in energy conservation. The key takeaway emphasizes understanding microbial cell structure and the functions of its components.
In MOOC
Water quality and the biogeochemical engine
Learn about how the quality of water is a direct result of complex bio-geo-chemical interactions, and about how to use these processes to mitigate water quality issues.
