Attention all Microbiology Majors

Beginning this Winter 2008 EEMB 144 (4 units) Marine Microbiology 
(prereqs are gen chem and intro bio series)
will _*now count*_ towards Major Area II Electives.

*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.

Note that there is a time conflict with those of you enrolled in W08 MCDB 132, but in other future Winters the Dept' we'll strive to avoid this time conflict.
