BISC209/S12: Lab12

Presentations this week
Room TBA. Please make sure that you have emailed your groups' Powerpoint™ to yourself so we can access it in the classroom where we will have our presentations. Make sure to upload a copy to your drop box in Sakai, too.

Group Presentation In LAB 12, teams of 3-4 students will prepare and present a 20-30 minute group oral presentation that is worth 25 points. Points awarded the group are based on an assessment of quality of the presentation, judged by the class and by your instructor. You will also evaluate the quality and level of participation of each of your teammates for an individual component of the grade. The penalty for under-participation can be up to 10points deducted from the 25 point total. The individual grade is determined by the consensus of your teammates on each member's contribution. Grading rubrics will be provided. You will also be provided with links and handouts of helpful information about making an oral presentation. The Resources section of the wiki contains a tip sheet prepared by PLTC peer-tutors about how to give an effective oral presentation. We will not do these presentations in the lab but in a room TBA.

The Theme of our Presentations this year is Methods of Identification of Microorganisms

Choices: Culture Based Batteries of Physical and Metabolic Characteristics (Traditional Microbiology) Analysis of cellular fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) by gas chromatography Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) Genotype Based Methods: 16s rRNA or rpoB gene or Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) by Sanger or 454 Pyrosequencing Repetitive sequence-based PCR (rep-PCR) Ribotyping  Culture Independent DNA Hybridization (Microarray)  Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionisation Time-Of-Flight (MaldiTof MS) Other?
