Microorganisms- Contributions of Scientists of Microbiology. Theory of spontaneous generation
and biogenesis. Different types of microscopes, their construction and working principles, Simple
and Compound microscope. Stereomicroscope. Principles, construction and mode of operation of
Scanning and transmission electron microscope, limitations. Preparation of specimens for electron
microscopic studies. Simple staining (positive and negative), differential staining (Gram’s staining
and acid – fast staining), structural staining (Capsule, Flagella, Cell wall and Endospore of
bacteria), nuclear staining, wet mounting method – staining of algae and fungi. Hanging drop
method. Principles and methods of sterilization.

The Microbial World: Groups of microorganisms: Viruses, Prokaryotes, and Eukaryotes. Study of
ultra structure of typical prokaryotic cell and eukaryotic cell, comparative account. General
Principles of classification and nomenclature of microorganisms (Haeckel’s three kingdom
classification and Whittaker’s five kingdom classification). General characteristics of viruses,
classification of viruses, isolation and identification of viruses. Study of structure and replication of
viruses: Bacteriophages T4 phage, Cyanophages. Phytophagenae TMV, Zoophagenae – Influenza
and HIV. Viroids and Prions. Ultra Structure of bacterial cell, classification of bacteria in brief as

Microbial Growth and Metabolism: Major nutritional types of microorganisms. Nutritional
requirements of microorganisms. Uptake of nutrients – passive and active transport. Microbial
Growth rate and generation time, growth curve – phases of growth and their significance.
Nomenclature, classification, properties of microbial enzymes mode and mechanism of enzyme
action, enzyme regulation, inhibition, cofactors and coenzymes. Photosynthetic microorganisms,
photosynthetic pigments and apparatus in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Mechanism of
photosynthesis in bacteria. Anaerobic Respiration: breakdown of glucose to pyruvate – EMP, HMP
and ED pathways, Fermentation- conversion of pyruvate to ethanol and lactic acid. Aerobic
Respiration: formation of acetyl CoA from pyruvate, TCA Cycle, Electron transport and oxidative
phosphorylation, efficiency of aerobic and anaerobic respiration as energy yielding processes.

food and food preservation techniques. Microbial spoilage of food – Fruits, vegetables, meat,
poultry, canned foods. Important methods of food preservations. Physical method- High
temperature, Canning, Low temperature, Drying, radiation and Chemical preservatives. Mycotoxin
with reference to Aflatoxin, Staphylococcal intoxication, Botulism, Salmonellosis. Food safety and
quality control. A brief account of food laws and standards. Sources of milk contamination.
Methods to detect microbial spoilage by SPC, Reductase test, Biochemical changes of milk. Starter
culture and its role. Fermented dairy products. Acidophilus milk, Yogurt, Butter milk, Srikhand.
Types of cheese, Preparation of cheese. Preservation of milk and milk products – Pasteurization,
Sterilization.

Industrial Microbiology: Microorganisms of industrial importance. Types of stock culture. Strain
