Explore Microbiology (3rd edition) by David R. Wessner, Christine Dupont, Trevor C. Charles & Josh D. Neufeld.
The third edition of Microbiology offers a comprehensive exploration of microscopic organisms, blending foundational concepts with real-world applications and the latest research insights. Designed to foster a deep understanding of microbiology’s scope, nature, and complexity, the textbook emphasizes exploration and experimentation.
Organized around the core themes of physiology, ecology, and genetics, it enables students to grasp the interconnected and dynamic nature of microbial life and its relationships with other organisms and the environment.
Each chapter provides clear, detailed explanations of experimental processes, microbial replication, conceptual flows, and concise key points. End-of-chapter questions challenge students to reinforce their understanding and critical thinking skills.
Updated topics in this edition include DNA replication and gene expression, viral pathogenesis, microbial biotechnology, adaptive immunity, infectious disease control, food and water microbiology, and a focused section on COVID-19.
Key Features
Chapter Vignette with Original Art: Every chapter begins with an opening vignette that frames a basic question within the context of both contemporary and historical issues. Each vignette is visually supported by original art created by Janet Iwasa, University of Utah.
Chapter Navigator: This feature organizes the chapter by key concepts and directs students to the most important elements (such as examples, animations, and tables) within the chapter to support each concept.
Mini-Papers: A Focus on the Research & Mini-Paper Project Activities: In every chapter, primary research articles are summarized and the original data is presented and interpreted, helping students sharpen critical thinking skills and deepen their understanding of microbiological research. The Mini-Paper examples are brief, edited versions of actual scientific papers designed to expose students to highly relevant and current research. Each Mini-Paper article is accompanied by critical thinking questions, as well as questions for discussion to help students learn to ask intelligent questions and design and evaluate experiments rationally.
Toolboxes in Microbiology: Every chapter contains Toolboxes, which are in-depth descriptions of experimental techniques relevant to the chapter. These examples present and explain important techniques and/or experiments and are accompanied by Test Your Understanding questions.
Perspectives in Microbiology Examples: Perspectives In Microbiology Examples show students how topics may be viewed or used by different groups. They examine how someone, such as an ecologist or a geneticist, would study or use the information presented in the chapter.
