Overview

The Companion Website, developed exclusively for Alcamo's Fundamentals of Microbiology: Body Systems, Second Edition, offers a variety of resources to enhance understanding of microbiology. The site contains eLearning, an online study guide with chapter outlines, chapter essay questions, key term reviews, and short study quizzes. The site also includes Part 6: Environmental and Applied Microbiology, Appendix C: Answers to Even-Numbered End-of-Chapter Questions, and Appendix D: Answers to MicroInquiry Questions.

The site also includes the Jones & Bartlett Learning Microbiology Animations.  These animations bring fascinating microbiology phenomena to life with a collection of vivid, full color, interactive exercises. Each animation guides students through microbiology processes and gauges students' progress and understanding with assessment questions introduced throughout each narrated animation. These "Speed Bumps" serve to ensure that you fully understand the process demonstrated as well as retain the knowledge for future quizzes and tests.
