this order has 2 parts which means i will need two seperate documents sent to me and titile the documents the title either part 1 or part 2
1. Watch the video in Part A.
2. Then use the Biochemical Tests Results table in Part B in order to construct your dichotomous key that identifies the following Bacteria:
- Fusobacterium spp.
- Vibrio spp.
- Klebsiella spp.
- Salmonella spp.
- Pseudomonas spp.
- B. cepacia
- Neisseria spp.
- Veillonella spp.
What to submit to receive full credit
- Graphical view of your Dichotomous Key (Submit as pdf or jpg)
- For each bacteria:
-
-
- Read about the pathologies associated with the infection and summarize the learning in a short paragraph.
- Use your own words as much as possible (please don’t copy and paste).
- Add the literature reference you used to capture that information.
- Read about the pathologies associated with the infection and summarize the learning in a short paragraph.
-
Please watch this video, which will help you construct your own Dichotomous Key

Week 5Discussion: Microbiology around us
Week 5Discussion: Microbiology around us
The Discussion boards in this course are an opportunity for the student to explore, learn and share current events in the world of Microbiology.
The course will equip you with tools to better understand the basic biology that drives microscopic organisms. The goal for these discussions is for you to apply those tools, connect the structured information from your textbook with current research, and to empower your personal knowledge.
The format is simple and the idea is that each student’s contribution becomes part of a sharable collection of articles for everybody to explore and learn from.
Three steps of the assignment:
1- Find an article about microbiology for you to share with the class. Read, deconstruct and reflect on the content of the article. Sometimes additional reading may be necessary.
2- Share your learnings with your classmates. Complete your main post, which should include:
- Title of the post: Use the title of the post to promote your article (You can use the title of the article)
- Post Content:
- Title of the article
- Link to the article (Reference)
- Classify the article into: Research Paper, General Public Communication, Opinion Piece, White Paper
- Brief summary (2 paragraphs max). The summary should help the reader to have a general but comprehensive idea of what the article is about. Think about the summary in three sections: Intro, Details and Conclusion.
- 5 tags (Think about keywords you would use to search for the article)
3- Read and comment on two other papers from your classmates. (2 paragraphs max that should add insightful feedback)
Here are some suggestions on where you can find interesting articles:
- The Scientist Magazine https://www.the-scientist.comLinks to an external site.
- ASM ( American Society of Microbiology) https://asm.orgLinks to an external site.
- Science Daily https://www.sciencedaily.com/news/plants_animals/microbiology/Links to an external site.
- Nature https://www.nature.com/subjects/microbiologyLinks to an external site.
- Labroots https://www.labroots.com/trending/microbiologyLinks to an external site.
- Or even General Public outlets such as New York Times (for this ones you may need additional reading to extract more of the scientific value) https://www.nytimes.com/topic/subject/microbiologyLinks to an external site.
- Or WIRED https://www.wired.com/search/?q=Microbiology&sort=score+desc
