Bacterial Physiology
Description
The writing exercise will consist of a summary report that explains a primary (not a review) scientific paper related to Bacterial Physiology.
The student will study the paper(attached) in detail and perform a background literature search to obtain at least two additional references (papers) published before the assigned paper and cited by this paper!!!!!!!!!!!!
The report shall cover the following four sections with clear subtitles: the Background of the research (why do it), major Methods used (how), Results obtained (what happened), Conclusions (significance to the field) and References (naturally including the main reference).
The report should follow routine rules relative to the format of species names and gene names. The explanation should be clear enough that a fellow classmate could read it and understand it. The report should be 5 typed pages in length with double spacing between lines (if you wish to have a cover page, it does not count towards the page limit). Fonts of Times New Roman with 12 point size are to be used.
