Courses & Syllabus
Microbiology is a fascinating branch of biology with applications in several fields such as biotechnology, molecular biology, medicine, nanotechnology, bioinformatics, agriculture and industry. With the advent of recombinant DNA technology, researches on microbiology have enabled us to produce transgenic plants, animals, fungi and bacteria with new genetic traits. Conceptually, the way one studies living organisms has changed in fundamental ways as there seems to be very little difference between microbes and higher organisms at the functional level. The behavior of basic molecules of life such as nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids seem to be the same and these molecules are interchangeable in different organisms.
As a result of the development of molecular biology and biotechnology, new fields of specialization known as bioethics, biosafety, environmental impacts, biological patents, and intellectual property rights have evolved. Public perceptions and acceptance of the applications of the knowledge of molecular biology, will be to a large extent influenced by ethics, cultural moores, and safety of the products of biotechnology. There is now a hot debate underway to restrict research funding in some areas that are fundamentally changing the methods of reproduction through nuclear transformation and cloning in animal systems with potential application in human cloning. The students of biology are well advised to be alert to these developments in order to shape their professional careers. Since understanding of microorganisms has advanced considerably during the last 15-20 years there have been many changes in higher education with microbiology being and important component of college and university curriculum in applied biology.

B.Sc Microbiology |
Since Microbiology is one the applied subjects that impart knowledge in different aspects of microbiology for individual and society also. The vast research over world wide for the battle of various diseases caused by microbes. The microbes were exploited for various applications ex. Production of food and its safety measures, as biocontrol agents, medicines, agriculture, environmental fields. Microbiological tools have been extensively used to study different life process with various technologies like r-DNA technologies, DNA finger printing technologies, bioinformatics, fermentation technology, nanotechnology and industry with career opportunities at undergraduate level. |
First year B.Sc: students will study basic concepts of microbiology with introduction to microbiological world. Exposure and study of different microscopes, instruments and isolation and observation of microorganisms with their morphological, staining, cultivation, and classification of microorganisms. Second year B.Sc: students will be given necessary information on the microbes involved in different metabolism and microbial genetics. Third year B.Sc: students are exposed to broad applied areas of microbiology like food microbiology, soil microbiology, medical microbiology, industrial microbiology. Overall objectives: to enhance and train the students to different microbial techniques and exposure to handle different types of microscopes. To encourage more students to opt P.G courses and research activities. Career opportunities for students to built up in various fields of microbiology ex. Fermentation technology, cultivation of mushrooms etc. |
