INTRODUCTION TO MICROBIAL WORLD:
Unit 1 History of development of Microbiology:
Development of microbiology as a discipline, Spontaneous generation vs. biogenesis, development of various microbiological techniques, concept of fermentation, establishment of fields of medical microbiology, immunology and environmental microbiology with special reference to the work of following scientists : Anton von Leeuwenhoek, Joseph Lister, Paul Ehrlich, Edward Jenner, Louis Pasteur, Robert Koch, Martinus W. Beijerinck, Sergei N. Winogradsky, Alexander Fleming, Selman A. Waksman, Elie Metchnikoff, Norman Pace, Carl Woese and Ananda M. Chakraborty

Unit 2 Diversity of Microbial world
A. Systems of classification:
Binomial Nomenclature, Whittaker’s five kingdom and Carl Woese’s three kingdom classification systems and their utility. Difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms

B. General characteristics of different groups:
A cellular microorganisms (Viruses, Viroids, Prions) and Cellular microorganisms (Bacteria, Algae, Fungi and Protozoa) with emphasis on distribution and occurrence, morphology, mode of reproduction and economic importance.

• Viruses, viroids and prions:
A general introduction with special reference to the structure of the following: TMV, poliovirus, T4 and λ phage, lytic and lysogenic cycles, one step multiplication curve

• Bacteria:
A very precise account of typical eubacteria, chlamydiae & rickettsiae (obligate intracellular parasites), mycoplasma, and archaebacteria (extremophiles).

• Algae:
History of phycology with emphasis on contributions of Indian scientists; General characteristics of algae including occurrence, thallus organization, algae cell ultra structure, pigments, flagella, eyespot food reserves and vegetative, asexual and sexual reproduction. Different types of life cycles in algae: Haplobiontic, Haplontic, Diplontic, Diplobiontic and Diplohaplontic life cycles. Detailed life cycle of Chlamydomonas and Spirogyra.

• Fungi:
Historical developments in the field of Mycology including significant contributions of eminent mycologists. General characteristics of fungi including habitat, distribution, nutritional requirements, fungal cell ultra- structure, thallus organization and aggregation, fungal wall structure and synthesis, asexual reproduction, sexual reproduction, heterokaryosis, heterothallism and parasexual mechanism. Detailed life cycle of Aspergillus and Rhizopus.

• Protozoa:
General characteristics with special reference to Amoeba, Paramecium and Giardia
