Microbiology
You will have an opportunity to create a project that incorporates much of what is presented in this course. There will also be outside research that must be conducted in order to complete the project. The project will be due in Week Nine and there will be check-in points throughout the term to ensure you stay on track. Below are the instructions for the project so you can begin planning:
Description:
Discuss how we can put microbes to work to facilitate our lives: from keeping our landscape clean to making delicious food and beverages. Review the Learning Activities in Module 9 to assist you with this assignment.
Objectives:
Recognize the importance of microorganisms in water and sewage treatment plants.
Describe food Microbiology, focusing on both preventative infection methods and the implication of specific microbial taxa in food preparation.
Describe the employment of microorganisms in Industrial Microbiology.
Instructions:
Search the Online Library for information about harnessing bacteria to help us.
Search Academic OneFile or choose another database. Use the Concorde Online Library Tutorial (Link will open in this tab.) Download Concorde Online Library Tutorial (Link will open in this tab.)if you need assistance with your search. Use these search strings or try some of your own:

Create a five-to-seven-page essay summarizing various ways in which we employ microbes to our advantage. Think about their use in the food industry, waste management, health care, and conversion of waste products into fuel. Which of these applied Microbiology fields is of interest to you and has the potential for further development in your opinion?
Support all of your assertions with scholarly resources.
