A Photographic Atlas for the Microbiology Laboratory

A Photographic Atlas for the Microbiology Laboratory, 5th Edition, serves as a visual reference to assist students in interpreting laboratory results. Designed for introductory microbiology laboratory courses, the volume can be used independently or to supplement standard laboratory manuals and instructor-authored exercises.

Coverage introduces essential laboratory procedures, organismal groups arranged by phylogeny, and modern molecular methods. For every technique and test, the text outlines the underlying purpose and principle to explain why and how each procedure is performed.

Featuring more than 700 full-color photographs, the reference aids in interpreting test results and observing cellular morphology. Clearly written captions and color diagrams further assist students during laboratory work.
