About this Course
Basic principles of microbiology and biochemistry as applied to environmental control and wastewater treatment. Kinetic and energetic aspects are emphasized. Effects of domestic and industrial water pollution on the biological characteristics of natural waters and aquatic life are studied. Laboratory includes plating techniques, studying biological growth kinetics and advanced genetic techniques such as gene amplification using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Cross-listed with CEEGR 3410 (formerly CEEGR 341).
