PRINCIPLES OF PRATACULTURAL MICROBIOLOGY
Course Description: This course deals with the concepts, types and the roles of microorganism in pastoral agricultural ecosystem and related topics. Current pratacultural microorganism methodologies will be introduced. Recent advances and trends in pratacultural microbiology will be discussed.
Course Objectives: Upon completion of this course, students should:
1) Know the types and concepts of microorganism, and related topics.
2) Understand the basic principles of the role of microorganism in the pastoral agricultural ecosystem, and related topics.
3) Be able to develop solutions to simple microorganism problems through the application of microbiology principles.
4) Effectively communicate scientific knowledge related to
pratacultural microbiology.
