Course content

5 sections • 24 lectures • 5h 58m total length

  • Microbiology as a field of Biology12:11

    Explore microbiology as a field of biology, examining microorganisms, their roles in nutrient cycling, biodegradation, food production, and disease, and their impact on health, environment, and industry.

  • The Place of Microorganisms in the living world20:24

    Understand the place of microorganisms in the living world through the evolution of classification. Trace how two kingdoms evolved into five and the three-domain system, including bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes.

  • Introduction to groups of microorganisms.33:22

    Explore the major groups of microorganisms—bacteria, archaea, fungi, algae, protozoa, and viruses—their size, morphology, habitats, and practical roles in health, industry, and the environment.

  • Applied areas of Microbiology.17:40

    Explore how microbiology applies to medicine, public health, epidemiology, agriculture, and industry; identify pathogens, control infections, improve food and water safety, enable bioremediation and biofertilizers.

  • Spontaneous generation versus Biogenesis14:42

    Explore the difference between spontaneous generation and biogenesis, tracing Francisco Redi, Lazzaro Spallanzani, and others who show life arises from pre-existing life.

  • Germ Theory of Disease.14:44

    Explore germ theory of disease and Koch postulates, tracing evidence that specific microbes cause disease through isolation, pure culture, animal inoculation, and re-isolation.

  • Eminent Scientists in Microbiology.6:28
  • Basics

Requirements

  • Student Must have studied Biology, Chemistry & Physics at school level.
