Microbial Diversity

Marine Biological Laboratory Course - Woods Hole, MA, United States

An intensive six-and-a-half-week course for graduate or postdoctoral students, as well as established investigators, who want to become competent in microbiological techniques for working with a broad range of microbes, and in approaches for recognizing the metabolic, phylogenetic, and genomic diversity of cultivated and as yet uncultivated bacteria. Limited to 20 students.
The course is designed primarily for scientists with a substantial background in microbiology who want to isolate, cultivate, and initiate research programs with a diverse range of microbes. It emphasizes that the great strength of microbiology lies in the diversity of microbial types that can be exploited for basic research. The course will emphasize nature as the source of microorganisms for research; thus, beginning and advanced students have equal chances to make discoveries. The course is open to all scientists who have a strong interest in microbes and their activities (previous students have included biochemists, ecologists, environmental engineers, oceanographers, geneticists, geologists, and limnologists).
