Mixture of three biotypes of Edwardsiella tarda
on John L's MacConkey-based "ET Agar."

These Selected General Bacteriology Topics form the substance of www.jlindquist.net / generalmicro and were originally at www.bact.wisc.edu back in the 20th Century:

Reference pages about certain general topics that have been oriented more specifically to the Bacteriology 102 course are on the old Bacteriology 102 Site which is at www.splammo.net / bact102 (and was also formerly at www.bact.wisc.edu). This "archived" site has its home page here and includes the following:

Selected Microbial Groups and the Enrichment & Isolation Experiments are listed in detail on the Bacteriological Site Outline. Among the pages are an Explanation of the General Concept of Enrichment and Isolation, the Purple Non-Sulfur Photosynthetic Bacteria and Bacillus.
A possible FAQ page to include herein has its "rough draft" here.
Growth Curves: This page will become more generalized and migrate here.
Aseptic Transfer Techniques: This page will add a movie on the subject and also transfer over here.
What is a CFU?
Dichotomous keys, flow charts and tables.
Guides to using the "regular microscope" and the phase-contrast microscope.
The use of scientific notation.

Under development is the beta-galactosidase page which is presently hidden away here.

Beware of pirated copies (on rogue .edu sites) of some of the above-listed pages which have missing images and broken links. These are copies of editions that are quite old (circa 2000), and they tend to be misleading about course content and intent. Unfortunately, some search engines rank these pirated pages very high.
