BIOL 368 - Genetics and Cell Biology
Here are suggestions of references you can cite:
At the bench : a laboratory navigator:
- This book is on reserve for your class. There are chapters on "Bacteria" and "DNA, RNA, and protein", which might be helpful.
- Try searching Sofia for (microbiol* OR bacteri*) AND (genetic* OR cell*).
- On the 3rd floor of the library, section QH 434 has books on Microbial genetics, and section QR 41.2 has many textbooks on microbiology.
- The search above gives many interesting results, including:
- iGenetics
- Molecular genetics of bacteria
- Calculations for molecular biology and biotechnology (which has information about Cell Growth).
- There are a few encyclopedias in the library on molecular genetics, cell biology or microbiology.
- For example, the Encyclopedia of microbiology has a section on "Techniques" that includes a chapter on "Recombinant DNA, Basic Procedures".
The QR5 - QR100 section of the library has many microbiology books that can be useful. Here are a few choices for bacterial media:
- Handbook of microbiological media.
- Maintenance of microorganisms : a manual of laboratory methods (located on the Vanier 3rd floor).
The QR5 - QR100 section of the reference section has many microbiology books that can be useful. Here are a few excellent choices for identifying bacteria:
- Bergey's manual of determinative bacteriology: Lists many different bacterial genera, with very specific characteristics, such as shape, gram staining, cell arrangements, colony characteristics, etc.
- Bergey's manual of systematic bacteriology: The 4 volumes list many different bacterial genera, with general characteristics, such as shape, gram staining, cell arrangements, etc.
- The Prokaryotes: General encyclopedia with entries for specific bacterial genera that cover identification through different tests to differentiate from other species. Also available online.
- A guide to the identification of the genera of bacteria, with methods and digests of generic characteristics.
The citation style for this course is APA, 7th ed. (available in print in the library). You can also consult the library's online help guide.
If you are uncertain about citing, the Library Research Skills Tutorial has a Citing module on how to properly quote, paraphrase and cite your sources. You can also watch a video on how to acknowledge your sources.
