The goal of this laboratory, developed at the University of Florida, is to teach the basic concepts of Microbiology, relating them to everyday situations. The exercises do not require an extensive background in science but are intended to provide an understanding of commonly applied principles. The procedural steps in each exercise are explained in detail, to reassure the student who is encountering such techniques for the first time.
