PMB C116 Microbial Diversity (Prof. John D. Coates, 3 Units)

This course for upper-division undergraduate and graduate students will broadly survey myriad types of microbial organisms, using phylogenetic and metabolic frameworks to organize the concept of “biodiversity.” Emphasis will be on the evolutionary development of the many biochemical themes, how they mold our biosphere, and the organisms that affect the global biochemistry.
