Welcome to MicrobeWiki
Study Microbes * Microbial Biorealm * Viral Biorealm * Microbial Mythology
MicrobeWiki is a free wiki resource on microbes and microbiology, authored by students at many colleges and universities. Curated Pages are reviewed and updated by microbiologists at Kenyon College. '''Student Pages''' authored independently, or for coursework, are tagged as such and are not monitored further. Interested readers are encouraged to add information, after registering a free account.
Educators: You may assign MicrobeWiki page creation and editing as projects for your students. We create a template page for your assignment, which you may edit to meet your needs. See for example the pages created by the following classes:
- BIOL 238 Class Index 2024, Joan L. Slonczewski,Kenyon College
- Microbial Ecology, Dr. Jay Lennon, Indiana University
- SSC111 Soil Microbiology, Kate Scow, University of California, Davis
- Microbial Ecology, Dr. Hidetoshi Urakawa, Florida Gulf Coast University.
- General Microbiology by Students of Jennifer Bhatnagar, Boston University
Your students receive individual passwords. Assessment and grading are up to you; after your class is over, we review pages for our standards. Students of all levels, from first-year to graduate students, have contributed pages to our site.
MicrobeWiki includes these modules:
Microbial Biorealm: encylopedia of bacteria, archaea and eukaryotic microbes. See also Taxonomy Index.
Viral Biorealm: encyclopedia of viruses of animals and plants, and bacteriophages. See also Taxonomy Index.
Microbial Mythology: common errors and controversies in microbiology.
