Editing pages has been restricted to users only. However, everyone is invited to read our research material and use it for educational purposes.
<h3>Leaving editing notes</h3>
Leaving notes on a page that has been edited will help others who edit the page after you understand what was meant or what information you were lacking. Leaving a note or comment is fairly easy, it should look like this <nowiki> <!--</nowiki> ''place note here''<nowiki> --></nowiki> when leaving a note leave your user name and the date you edited that part of the page <nowiki><!-- </nowiki>''place note here'' DrewT, 6.1.06<nowiki> --></nowiki>.


<h3>Templates</h3>
==Description and significance==
All pages for the Microbial Biorealm should use the [http://biology.kenyon.edu/Microbial_Biorealm/microbial_template.htm Microbial Template], whereas all pages for the Viral Biorealm should use the [http://biology.kenyon.edu/Microbial_Biorealm/viral_template.htm Viral Template].  Each page should have one of the templates from the

Include a picture or two (with sources) if you can find them.


<h3>Formatting</h3>
==Genome structure==
General formating can be done by using the tool bar above the editing box, but more advanced features take special characters. To find out more, read Wikipedia's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:How_to_edit_a_page "How to edit a page"].
Describe the size and content of the genome.  How many chromosomes?  Circular or linear?  Other interesting features?  What is known about its sequence?
Does it have any plasmids?  Are they important to the organism's lifestyle?

==Cell structure and metabolism==
Setting up tables is more dificult in a wiki environment, we suggest that you read Wikipedia's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Table Help:Table] for that information.
Describe any interesting features and/or cell structures; how it gains energy; what important molecules it produces.

Classification

Higher order taxa

Domain; Phylum; Class; Order; family [Others may be used. Use NCBI link to find]

Species

NCBI: Taxonomy

Genus species

Description and significance

Describe the appearance, habitat, etc. of the organism, and why it is important enough to have its genome sequenced. Describe how and where it was isolated. Include a picture or two (with sources) if you can find them.

Genome structure

Describe the size and content of the genome. How many chromosomes? Circular or linear? Other interesting features? What is known about its sequence? Does it have any plasmids? Are they important to the organism's lifestyle?

Cell structure and metabolism

Describe any interesting features and/or cell structures; how it gains energy; what important molecules it produces.

Ecology

Describe any interactions with other organisms (included eukaryotes), contributions to the environment, effect on environment, etc.

Pathology

How does this organism cause disease? Human, animal, plant hosts? Virulence factors, as well as patient symptoms.

Application to Biotechnology

Does this organism produce any useful compounds or enzymes? What are they and how are they used?

Current Research

Enter summaries of the most recent research here--at least three required
