Description:
This course has been designed to provide entry-level microbiology material and
introduce the types of microorganisms such as bacteria, protozoa and metazoa.
Discussion will include environmental factors that affect their growth and
reproduction, explanation of aerobic, anaerobic, nitrification, bacterial growth
and respiration, and microscopic examination including selection and use of
microscope and procedures for sample examination. Extensive hands-on
identification of organisms found in activated sludge will be included, along
with a discussion of microscopic examination as a process control tool.
Students should bring a small sample of mixed liquor from the effluent end of
the aeration tank. The sample needs to be chilled if it is stored more than a
few hours to preserve the microorganisms. Sample is not a requirement of the
