$120
WELCOME TO THE MICRO-VERSE!
From fermented foods to industrial applications to our own microbiomes, microbes play a major role in our everyday lives. In this four-week course, you will learn how to safely handle microbes in the laboratory, isolate a pure bacterial culture from a fermented food, and begin to characterize your bacterium with a variety of techniques. We will also explore how microbes are used as tools in food production, the healthcare industry, and synthetic biology. All ages 12+ are welcome, and no scientific experience is required.
Sessions will be held every Sunday from Feb 4 until Feb 28, 2:30 to 4:30 pm.
SKILLS GAINED:
Safely handle bacterial cultures in the laboratory
Maintain a sterile environment for manipulating microbes
Isolate pure bacterial strains from a mixed culture
Use a light microscope to visualize bacterial cells
Characterize bacteria by cell shape, Gram staining, and behavior on selective
and differential growth mediaDiscuss broader applications of microbiology
