  • Biofilms and Biodiversity: an Interactive Exploration of Aquatic
    Journal of Industrial Microbiology & Biotechnology (2000) 24, 334–338 2000 Society for Industrial Microbiology 1367-5435/00 $15.00 www.nature.com/jim Biofilms and biodiversity: an interactive exploration of aquatic microbial biotechnology and ecology JA Frederick1, D Jacobs2 and WR Jones3 1Maryland Sea Grant Extension Program, Columbus Center, 701 E Pratt St, Baltimore, MD 21202; 2Maryland Sea Grant, 0112 Skinner Hall, College Park, MD 20742; 3Center of Marine Biotechnology, University of Maryland Biotechnology Institute, 701 E Pratt St, Baltimore, MD 21202, USA The study of biofilms provides a unique educational opportunity to examine ecosystems, biodiversity and appli- cations of environmental biotechnology. There are many variables that could be studied for measuring the interac- tions between bacterial biofilms and invertebrate biodiversity as a method for assessing the health of aquatic eco- systems. These interactions also lend themselves to an easily replicated model system which can be used to reach a wide audience with an educational opportunity for students as well as a professional development opportunity for teachers. At the foundation of the research are invaluable basic microbiology skills: strain collection, isolation, cultivation and characterization. Through the additional process of characterizing, identifying and enumerating invertebrate organisms that attach to bacterial biofilms in aquatic ecosystems, there evolved a multidisciplinary class laboratory activity that has found broad application. This activity is captivating not only to undergraduate microbiology students but to middle and high school students and their teachers. The demand for information about the activity has led to the development of a truly interactive web-based lesson, which in turn has resulted in additional inquiries and further refinement of the lesson as an undergraduate independent research course.

    June 2015 HISTORY OF THE DEPARTMENT OF MICROBIOLOGY 1868 – 2009 University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign 1 A HISTORY OF THE DEPARTMENT OF MICROBIOLOGY 1868 – 2009 This 141 year history of the Department of Microbiology includes an article (Chapter 1), written and published in 1959 by the Department, which covers the period 1868 to 1959. I joined the Department in 1953, and my recounting of the Department’s history includes personal observations as well as anecdotes told to me by H. O. Halvorson and others. Later I realized what a unique experience it had been to join a first-class department, and I resolved to play a role in maintaining its research stature.

    AUTHOR GUIDELINES Molecular Microbiology updated June 2020 Sections 1. Aims and Scope 2. Submission Process 3. Article Types 4. Peer Review Process 5. After Acceptance 1. Aims and Scope Molecular Microbiology publishes studies of Bacteria, Archaea, eukaryotic microorganisms, and their viruses. Research papers should lead to a deeper understanding of the molecular principles underlying basic physiological processes or mechanisms. Appropriate topics include gene expression and regulation, pathogenicity and virulence, physiology and metabolism, synthesis of macromolecules (proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, polysaccharides, etc.), cell and structural biology, subcellular organization, membrane biogenesis and function, traffic and transport, cell-cell communication and signaling pathways, evolution and gene transfer. Articles focused on host responses (cellular or immunological) to pathogens or on microbial ecology should be directed to our sister journals Cellular Microbiology and Environmental Microbiology, respectively. Molecular Microbiology editorial team has experience in all areas of research covered by the journal. Authors should generally choose the Editor whose interests are closest to their own (see below) but may select another editor if they wish. Editors will reassign papers if they consider that there is a conflict of interest, that another Editor would be more appropriate, or that the chosen Editor cannot handle the manuscript in a timely fashion, in which case the authors will be informed. If in doubt, authors should submit
