Publisher's Synopsis
"This book was created to make the microbiology lab a more valuable experience by reconnecting the what and how of microbiology with the sometimes forgotten why. Although Latin names, complex media, and complicated assays will always be a part of the curriculum, the context of each exercise has been expanded so the reason for completing a specific task will be clear from the outset. Every sentence was written and each photograph chosen to accomplish this goal, and the result is a laboratory manual like nothing else in the field"--.
