CALS Farm and Industry Short Course Program

The Archived
 FARM MICROBIOLOGY 
WEBSITE

This course website was retired with the Spring Term of 2008, and some of the material utilized throughout my all-too-brief tenure in teaching the lecture part of this course is archived here. The manual for the laboratory part is under consideration for use elsewhere and its material includes isolation of hydrogen-producing purple non-sulfur photosynthetic bacteria.

The Learn@UW website ultimately became the web portal for students to go for course announcements, downloads, links to resources, and other useful things such as grade summaries.
