Microbiology Lab PowerPoint Lectures
The Power Point lectures available through these web pages are actual lectures used in 100-level college biology courses that I teach. These presentations are used to support the lab manual and help explain the lab exercise and background material to the students.
The lab manual that these PowerPoints are based on was authored by Cynthia Schauer, Biology Professor at Kalamazoo Valley Community College.
The list of lectures is near the bottom of this page. Please check back regularly, as these lectures are usually updated either ever 8 or 16 weeks.
NOTE!! If You're Having PROBLEMS DOWNLOADING A LECTURE ...
PROBLEM: 'Help! I get a 'BANDWIDTH EXCEEDED' message when I try to download a PowerPoint lecture!' - Science Prof Online is a Google website, and only allows for a certain amount of site traffic and downloads at any particular time.
SOLUTION: If you try to download a PPT lecture and get that message, just try again later. You'll have the best luck downloading lectures during non-peak hours, such as very late at night or very early in the morning. Keep trying! The lectures are worth the effort! Thanks for your patience.
Microbiology Laboratory Power Points

Lab #4: Identification of Unknown Bacteria
Lab #5: Microbial Control
Additional Reference PPT: Meet the Microbes
The 'Meet the Microbe' PowerPoint lists all of the microbes that we will be discussing in Applied Microbiology. The list includes eukaryotic, prokaryotic and acellular microbes with properly formatted scientific names and reference to the lectures in which we discussed each microbe.

Giving Credit Where Credit Is Due
This is a collection of lectures that I have given repeatedly, always tweaking and changing as I try to improve them. The materials in the lectures have been gathered from a multitude of places. Textbooks, my head, the Power Point lectures of other instructors.
Some of the lectures include credits for all images and material. But as this is a time-intensive process, I have not completed this task for all lectures.
If you run across an image or material that you are the author of, please contact me at tamiport@yahoo.com. I will either give you proper credit for your work, r remove the material from this website, whichever you'd prefer.
Corrections
Although I have spent a great deal of time creating these lectures, no doubt there is an error or two (or possibly more). If you find a mistake, please drop me an email (tamiport@yahoo.com) so that I can make a correction.
