Course Description
Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2023-2024.
We live in a microbial world: microbes are all around us affecting almost every aspect of our lives. This course uses primary literature publications related to wine-relevant microbes to explore how cells interact with their environment and how scientific progress is made. Selected papers will include both investigations into basic cell biology of wine-relevant microbes and direct investigations into wine microbiology.
When Offered Spring.
Prerequisites/Corequisites Prerequisite: BIOMI 2900, CHEM 1570, BIOMG 3300/BIOMG 3310. Recommended prerequisite: VIEN 2204/VIEN 2205, VIEN 4650, or permission or instructor.
