An investigation of the metabolic diversity of bacteria and archaea with an emphasis on microbial evolution, energetics, and the ecological implications of diversity. Required laboratory is an inquiry-based introduction to classical methods of enrichment and isolation of diverse microbes from the environment and molecular identification of isolates. Basic introduction to bioinformatic analysis of microbial phylogeny using sequence data generated in the course.

INT84BV . Santoro A E 3 Years Ago

Professor Santoro is awesome! Seems passionate about her work and creates a welcoming atmosphere in her class. Even if you don't have a scientific background, she explains concepts about microbial ocean clearly and appreciates discussion from different perspectives/non-stem majors

EEMB144 . Santoro A E 6 Years Ago

Prof Santoro is amazing. She is super intelligent & easy to talk to if you have any questions. I highly recommend taking EEMB 144 if she is teaching. The only semi negative thing I can say is that she talks on the fast side but even then its not bad. Grade is based off a few hw assignments, midterm, section participation & final. Take this class!

EEMB150A . Santoro A E 6 Years Ago

This class will change your perception of all natural things, by imbuing a well rounded understanding of the metabolic diversity and strategies of microbes. You will NEVER look at a tree, the ocean, or a cow in the same way again. Beyond the content, this professor is particularly good at explaining the material in a relatable and clear way.
