About the Book

Benson's Microbiological Applications has been the gold standard of microbiology laboratory
manuals for over 30 years. The 77 self-contained, clearly-illustrated exercises,with a wealth of added
photographs makes this the ideal lab manual. Appropriate for either a majors or non-majors lab course,
this manual assumes no prior organic chemistry course has been taken.
Salient Features:
Each exercise opens with Learning Outcomes, which list what a student should be able to do after completing the exercise.
- A Laboratory Report to be completed by students immediately follows most of the exercises. These are designed to guide and reinforce student learning and provide a convenient place for recording data.
