About this title

From the Publisher

With this new edition comes many updated photos and line drawings. Full-color examples of lab test results appear in the lab exercises so students have an immediate reference against which they can compare their results.
Benson's Complete Version (90 experiments) provides the largest variety of laboratory exercises to accommodate all laboratory curricula from a medical emphasis to an environmental emphasis and everything between. (A shorter version with 66 experiments is also available.)
Because you may prefer or require a different way to stage a lab exercise, this lab manual includes suggestions for alternative approaches and procedures in the appendixes and in the Instructor's Manual.
New exercises have been added, including:
The Nitrogen Cycle and Denitrification in Soil
Bacterial Conjugation
Aseptic Techniques.
An exercise covering the Winogradsky Column in identifying Photosynthetic Bacteria has been expanded.
Cautionary Boxes have been incorporated throughout the manual to increase student awareness of lab safety.
The Instructor's Manual provides a materials list and guidelines for conducting all the experiments, as well as answers to the lab exercises.You can customize this book to meet your exact needs and mix and match with other items on Primis Online allowing you maximum choice and flexibility. Instructors can also choose between two delivery formats: custom printed books (in black and white) or custom eBooks (in color).
