*EEMB 144 Marine Microbiology Lecture Course Synopsis: *
*
*
Methodological advances in marine microbiology over the past few decades 
have led to an explosion of research in the fields of marine 
microbiology and marine microbial ecology.   Microbial - microbial 
interactions and their interactions with their chemical and physical 
environments greatly affect the processes that govern the cycling of 
life's essential elements and energy in the world's oceans.  The field 
of microbial oceanography has evolved from the merger of marine 
microbiology, microbial ecology and environmental 
genomics/proteomic/transcriptomics.  It is a rapidly evolving and 
dynamic field that is interdisciplinary in nature.  Subjects covered in 
this course will span from traditional microbiology, to microbial 
biogeochemistry to the use of modern genomic approaches in studying 
microbial diversity and function within the world's ocean.

(2 units), Concurrent enrollment in EEMB 144 OR Concurrent Enrollment in 
EEMB 142B required (Please note that you do not need to be enrolled in 
the Lab in order to be enrolled in the EEMB 144 Lecture).      
                                                     
*EEMB 144L  Marine Microbiology Laboratory Synopsis:*

This laboratory will be a survey of the diversity, physiology and 
ecology of marine prokaryote and methods used to identify, quantify and 
measure their activities.  Students will conduct a central experiment at 
the beginning of the quarter and collect samples for a variety of 
assays.  They  will use a combination of traditional marine 
microbiological techniques together with modern molecular approaches to 
assess microbial activity and microbial diversity within these 
samples.   Among some of the methods included are image analysis 
assisted microscopy, PCR, fluorescence in situ hybridization and use of 
an automated gene sequencer for terminal restriction fragment length 
polymorphism (T-RFLP) analysis.  The results of this assays will be 
presented in the context of the central experiment.
