Instructor: Jon Zehr
Microbial Ecology is one of the most exciting, most rapidly developing area of environmental science today, especially in the ocean and other aquatic environments. In this course, we will consider the ecology and evolution of bacteria involved in biogeochemical cycles in the ocean and other environments. After establishing the basic biochemical and physiological background necessary to understand bacterial activity, we will study the roles and activities of bacteria in such fundamental processes as carbon cycling and the microbial loop of natural systems, as well as the role of bacteria in bioremediation and transformations of metals and other chemicals of environmental interest.
The course involves lectures and optional field trips. The Instructor is Jon Zehr <http://www2.ucsc.edu/people/zehrj/>.
