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 per Bergey’s Manual of Systematic Bacteriology.
