Course Objectives: Microbiology is a branch of science which examines the micro alive and their metabolic activities as well as having significant role in the interaction of the health and nutrition connection. Investigations on microbial cell details from morphological, physiological, pathological and toxicological perspectives are very important, also microbiology applications give many important experiences for workers and researchers on nutrition and health. Microbiology applications are essential current scientific research and the basic for determinations of so many cellular stories and also with applications. From these sides, practical microbiology lesson as a mandatorily status on license and graduate level of students and have very important program related with alive - alive relationships.
