Assignment:
Design a microbe writing assignment.
Assignment:
This is a creative writing assignment using what you have learned about microbiology and pathogenesis. In this assignment you will create microbe. While this is an imaginary pathogen it must be based on science. You will be given creative leeway, but will be graded on your use of cell structures, metabolism and mechanisms of pathogenesis that actually exist. As such, this assignment will be cited with appropriate source.
Your organism may be a pathogen, normal flora or environmental organism. You need to address the cell biology, metabolism and other special mechanisms that allow your bug to do whatever it is that it does.
You will submit a 1 to 2 page double spaced paper, plus references, describing this organism, and present it to your peers in class on 6/30. In this paper and presentation,you will lay out the organism's cellular morphology, metabolic activities, growth niche and any virulence or specialattributes that it contains. You may discuss how these factors all contribute to its perpetuation.
