„Laboratory Exercises in Microbiology” is a microbiology textbook written particularly for the students of the Environmental Protection & Management course. This edition was designed to provide an engaging and easy to understand textbook that is appropriate for a diverse student audience with varying backgrounds and science knowledge and helping students learn fundamental microbiology concepts without being over-whelmed by excessive detail. Each chapter begins with short learning objectives presenting key concepts that students should understand after studying each chapter. The following section of each chapter contains exercises suitable for the introductory course of microbiology. A laboratory report at the end of each chapter present students with questions that encourage them to apply what they have already learned.

Regardless of your reasons for approach to studying microbiology, enjoy yourself.
