Course Overview

We have integrated the OpenStax Microbiology textbook with intuitive personal learning tools, adaptive assessments, learning activities, personalized learning paths, instructor-contributed content, and actionable analytics to make studying and learning Microbiology more efficient, effective, and engaging – with measurably improved student outcomes. We guide each student through a personalized learning process, orchestrating the presentation of OpenStax Microbiology in a way that is paced, sequenced, and optimized for each student based on their knowledge, needs, and abilities. We also provide accurate real-time learning analytics that helps instructors pinpoint student problem areas and provide relevant remediation.

Lab Simulations

These are simulations we offer. Based on your preference, we can add it to your course.
2.Mitosis-1
Mitosis
Different mitotic stages are studied through microscopic observations.
4.Meiosis
Meiosis
Different meiotic stages are studied through microscopic observations.
6.WBC
White Blood Cells (WBCs)
This test involves microscopic observation of a blood sample to determine different types of white blood cells (WBCs).
7.Mendelian-Genetics2
Mendelian Genetics
Virtually simulated breeding experiments are evaluated for genotypes and phenotypes through the monohybrid and dihybrid cross.
10.Serial Dilution
Serial Dilution
A concentrated bacterial sample is serially diluted to make bacterial counting manageable. Bacterial counts of different dilutions are evaluated.
11.Streak-plate4
Streak plate
This experiment helps you perform continuous, quadrant, radiant, or T streaking and assess bacterial growth levels at different streak areas.
12.Carbohydrate Fermentation4
Carbohydrate Fermentation
This virtual experiment helps assess whether bacteria ferment glucose and produce gas.
13. Sim test4
Sulfide-Indole-Motility (SIM) test
This test determines three factors: whether bacteria can move, metabolize sulfur-based amino acids, or synthesize the tryptophanase enzyme.
14. ldc test4
Lysine decarboxylase (LDC) test
This experiment determines whether bacteria undergo fermentation and produce the lysine decarboxylase enzyme.
15. Phenylalanine Deaminase test4
Phenylalanine Deaminase test
This test detects the bacterial strains that synthesize phenylalanine deaminase. The dark green color change indicates the presence of phenylpyruvic acid.
19.Plasmid DNA extraction and Agarose gel electrophoresis
Plasmid DNA extraction and Agarose gel electrophoresis
The structure of plasmids extracted from Escherichia coli is studied with the help of restriction mapping.
22.Gram-Staining3
Gram Staining
This staining test distinguishes gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria based on the components of the bacterial cell wall.
23.Atomic-bonding9
Atomic bonding
This exercise provides a better understanding of chemical bonds and intermolecular forces.
24.Microscopy3
Microscopy

This experiment provides an understanding of how to calibrate various factors of the microscope for a better view of a cell and its components.


disc
Kirby-Bauer Disc Diffusion Method
This experiment involves measuring inhibition zones to determine which antibiotic is susceptible or resistant to a certain bacteria.
