Microbiology (MICR)
MICR 5263 Microbial Genetics: from Genes to Genomes Description: Integration of genetics and genomics principles, the basic processes of gene transmission, molecular biology of gene expression and evolutionary genetics by gaining social and historical context in which genetics are developed. Participants are expected to comprehend the dramatic change in our understanding of genetics and the role such information has in our view of disability and disease. May not be used for degree credit with MICR 4263. Credit hours: 3 Contact hours: Lecture: 1 Lab: 4 Levels: Graduate Schedule types: Lab, Lecture, Combined lecture and lab Department/School: Microbiology & Mol Gen MICR 5273 Advanced Principles of Microbial Pathogenesis Description: Advanced study of the pathogenic mechanisms used by microbial pathogens to cause disease. Principles of pathogen and pathogen-host interactions that lead to disease pathology. Credit hours: 3 Contact hours: Lecture: 3 Levels: Graduate Schedule types: Lecture
MICR 5423 Bacterial Cell Walls: Form and Function Prerequisites: MICR 2123, MICR 2132, and MICR 3223.
Description: Topics will include structure and synthesis of membrane and cell wall components (including lipids, peptidoglycan and membrane proteins), mechanisms of transport across the cell wall and the roles components of the cell wall play in the survival of the cell (and in the case of pathogens, the ability to cause disease). In addition, antimicrobial agents that affect the cell wall and the mechanisms used to eliminate these agents from the cell will also be discussed. No credit for students with credit in MICR 4423. Credit hours: 3 Contact hours: Lecture: 3 Levels: Graduate Schedule types: Lecture Department/School: Microbiology & Mol Gen MICR 5513 Grant Proposal Preparation Prerequisites: Admission into Microbiology graduate program. Formats, strategies, and styles of research grant proposal writing. Description: Activities include hypothesis development and critical evaluation of research proposals. Credit hours: 3 Contact hours: Lecture: 2 Other: 1 Levels: Graduate Schedule types: Discussion, Combined lecture & discussion, Lecture Department/School: Microbiology & Mol Gen MICR 5524 Biological Laboratory Instrumentation Prerequisites: CHEM 1515 or equivalent and PBIO 1404 or MICR 2123 or BIOL 1604 or equivalents or consent of instructor. Description: Lecture and laboratory course in biological instrumentation use, theory, experimental design, maintenance, and troubleshooting. Topics include liquid handling systems, pH/ISE meters, electrophoresis, spectrophotometers, centrifuges, chromatography, thermocyclers, and DNA sequencers. May not be used for degree credit with BIOL 4524; MICR 4524; PBIO 4524. Previously offered as BIOL 5524; PBIO 5524. Credit hours: 4 Contact hours: Lecture: 2 Lab: 4 Levels: Graduate Schedule types: Lab, Lecture, Combined lecture and lab Department/School: Microbiology & Mol Gen MICR 5543 Microbial Genomics and Bioinformatics Prerequisites: MICR 2123; MICR 3033 or MICR 3223 or equivalents. Description: Basic approaches and strategies for microbial genome analysis, and hands-on training on the subject. Graduate students enrolled in the class are expected to give a comprehensive presentation on the genomic analysis done throughout the semester. The presentation should be a manuscript format with a brief Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, and Discussion. A comprehensive use of all principals covered in class is expected and will be used for evaluation. Credit will also be given to handling questions and presentation skills. May not be used for degree credit with MICR 4543. Credit hours: 3 Contact hours: Lecture: 3 Levels: Graduate Schedule types: Lecture Department/School: Microbiology & Mol Gen
Department/School: Microbiology & Mol Gen MICR 5323 Biological Energy Transduction Prerequisites: MICR 3033 or BIOC 3653.
Description: An exploration of the principals and mechanisms of energy transduction in plants, animals, and microbial systems. The course emphasizes electron transport and ATP production in both chemotrophic and phototrophic organisms and considers the cellular and molecular bases for these processes. May not be used for degree credit with MICR 4323. Credit hours: 3 Contact hours: Lecture: 3 Levels: Graduate Schedule types: Lecture
Department/School: Microbiology & Mol Gen MICR 5333 Controversies in Vaccinology
Prerequisites: OSU graduate student status or permission of instructor. Description: Public misconceptions about science abound, however, these misconceptions have a major impact on perception of research and public policy. Examples of themes in science as portrayed, for example, in film will be explored and critically discussed. Ways to improve communication between the scientist and the general public will be evaluated.
