We live in a microbial world. There are billions of times more microbes on Earth than stars in the universe and microbial metabolisms are critical to the maintenance of life on our planet. The objective of this course is to provide an overview of microbial diversity and ecophysiology with special emphasis on how the activities and interactions of microorganisms influence biological systems ranging from humans to the planet as a whole. Special emphasis will be placed on aquatic ecosystems and the microbiology of the ocean.
