Microbiology

A list of links to help you with your microbiology studies.



Virus Links


http://tinyurl.com/y87lgdp Much like the title of the page suggests, this is a good introduction to viruses from the University of California. There are also some links to other resources such as a glossary.


http://tinyurl.com/2w8zd7 Another virus information source, but this goes into much more detail. This is perfect for those of you in AP Biology or similar subjects.


http://tinyurl.com/4sr9ek6 A very extensive list of terms and vocabulary. It also has a set of practice questions and their answers!


http://tinyurl.com/4zpbpz7 A long list of different viruses catalogued by the disease(s) they cause. Also includes a good number of photos of different viruses.


http://tinyurl.com/48reahs While not comprehensive, this site has the major viruses, electron micrographs of each, plus additional information on each. A good companion for laboratory.


http://tinyurl.com/4pdhabs A very interesting documentary on "virus hunters" on Hulu that really shows how all the concepts and knowledge learned in lecture and lab can be applied to real-world situations. A must watch for those interested in careers in virology and disease control! Note: This video might not be viewable to those outside the United States


http://tinyurl.com/6yl97ma A video from a Virology lecture. This is the first day of the class so the information is more of  a general overview.


http://tinyurl.com/5rn9t5a The Biology Hub's Youtube playlist of videos covering viruses and bacteria. Contains two virus videos and four bacteria videos.


Bacteria Links


http://tinyurl.com/4tycamu An overview of bacteria including some information on morphology.


http://tinyurl.com/3blynl A site with extensive information on bacteria. Great for those in AP Biology.


http://tinyurl.com/4gex4kz An amazing site packed with information on bacteria. This is an especially great source for reports.


http://tinyurl.com/2banmc5 A site that goes over the two main types of bacteria (gram positive and gram negative). Also contains practical information on bacteria, making this a good source for reports.


http://tinyurl.com/4tfym7u Lots of information on bacteria with helpful diagrams. Also includes information on viruses and others. Definitely a site worth exploring!


http://tinyurl.com/4w2exz6 A collection of microscope pictures of major bacterial genera and species. A good laboratory resource. 


http://tinyurl.com/49zulag A much more extensive collection of bacteria pictures as they appear under the microscope. Great for those in an AP Biology laboratory.


http://tinyurl.com/493zm9b Even though this site in archived and therefore won't be updated, it still has a good deal of information regarding bacteria.


http://tinyurl.com/ndou26 An interesting conference lecture on how bacteria "talk" to one another.
