• The third edition of Microbiology provides in-depth coverage of the science of microscopic organisms. Providing a balanced presentation of foundational concepts, real-world applications, and current research and experimentation, this comprehensive textbook facilitates a thorough understanding of the scope, nature, and complexity of microbiology.
• Welcome to the Web site for Microbiology by David Wessner. This Web site gives you access to the rich tools and resources available for this text. You can access these resources in two ways: Using the menu at the top, select a chapter. A list of resources available for that particular chapter will be provided.
• Microbiology helps to develop a meaningful connection with the material through the incorporation of primary literature, applications and examples. The text offers an ideal balance between comprehensive, in-depth coverage of core concepts, while employing a narrative style that incorporates many relevant applications and a unique focus on current research and experimentation.

Wessner, Dupont, Charles: Microbiology. Chapter 02 Practice Quiz. Bacillus anthracis has which shape? Rod spiral spherical curved rod. True or false: all bacteria disconnect from each other when they divide. True, all bacteria are single celled.

Microbiology helps to develop a meaningful connection with the material through the incorporation of primary literature, applications and examples. The text offers an ideal balance between comprehensive, in-depth coverage of core concepts, while employing a narrative style that incorporates many relevant applications and a unique focus on current research and experimentation. The book frames information around the three pillars of physiology, ecology and genetics, which highlights their interconnectedness and helps students see a bigger picture. This innovative organization establishes a firm foundation for later work and provides a perspective on real-world applications of microbiology.

Microbiology, 2nd Edition

By David R. Wessner, Christine DuPont, Trevor C. Charles, and Josh D. Neufield

Microbiology, 2nd Edition helps students develop a meaningful connection with the material through the incorporation of primary literature and through applications and examples that provide an ideal balance of comprehensive, in-depth coverage of core concepts. This course incorporates many relevant applications and a unique focus on current research and experimentation. Information is framed around the three pillars of physiology, ecology, and genetics—highlighting their interconnectedness and helping students see a bigger picture.

The next generation of WileyPLUS for Microbiology gives instructors the freedom and flexibility to tailor content and easily manage their course to keep students engaged and on track.

Primary research articles ensure students are prepared to succeed.

Students are exposed to primary literature to highlight real-world microbiology and help build critical thinking skills. Mini-Papers within each chapter summarize and interpret primary research articles to sharpen students’ critical thinking skills and deepen their understanding of what microbiologists do.

3-D animations bring course content to life.

3-D animations help students visualize and master complex topics in microbiology. A series of gradable assessments specific to the animations are assignable in the next generation of WileyPLUS.

Chapter opener videos provide real-world examples.

Videos introduce each chapter by providing current examples of microbiology in action or detail a historically relevant discovery. “Rest of the Story” videos reconnect students to the opening videos, helping them make deeper connections with the content.

Features Include

• Mini-Papers: Each chapter includes a Mini-Paper example in which key research papers are summarized and original data is presented and interpreted. Critical thinking questions called “Questions for Discussion” are offered at the end of each Mini-Paper to help students learn to ask intelligent questions and design and evaluate experiments.
• Connection Notes: Connection Notes emphasize the interconnectedness of topics both within a section and between sections.
  Microbes in Focus: Microbes in Focus entries provide a more detailed description of the habitat and key features of specific microbes that are mentioned in the section.
• Beginning-of-Chapter and “Rest of the Story” Videos: Videos introduce each course section by providing current examples of microbiology in action or detail a historically relevant discovery. “Rest of the Story” videos reconnect students to the opening videos helping them make deeper connections with the content.
• Animations: Over 125 animations are integrated through the course, many of which use 3-D animation techniques. Consistent with the style of the beginning-of-section illustrations and developed to support learning objectives throughout the course, these animations help students visualize and master the toughest topics.
