| '''MicrobeWiki''' is a free wiki resource on microbes and microbiology, edited by students and monitored by microbiologists at [http://www.kenyon.edu '''Kenyon College''']. We invite you to use our Microbe Wiki to study the microbial world with us. You are encouraged to add information, after registering a [[Contact MicrobeWiki|'''free account''']]. <br><br>
| | ===Species=== |
| '''Educators:''' You may assign MicrobeWiki page creation and editing as projects for your students. We create a [[List of class template pages | template page]] for your assignment, which you may edit to meet your needs. See for example the pages created by the following classes:

|
| * BIMM120 Bacteriology, Dr. Rachel Larsen and Dr. Kit Pogliano, [[UCSD | University of California at San Diego]]
| | {| |
| * BI 230 Microbiology, Dr. Kirk Bartholomew, [[Sacred Heart 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.<br><br>

| '''MicrobeWiki''' includes these modules:<br> | |
| '''[[Microbial Biorealm]]''': encylopedia of bacteria, archaea and eukaryotic microbes. See also [[Taxonomy Index]].<br>
| |
| '''[[Viral Biorealm]]''': encyclopedia of viruses of animals and plants, and bacteriophages. See also [[Taxonomy Index]].<br>
| |
| '''[[Microbial World News]]''': highlights of microbiology in the news.<br>
| |
| '''[[Microbial Mythology]]''': common errors and controversies in microbiology.<br>
