This textbook has been designed to meet the needs of B.Sc. First Semester students of Botany as per Common Minimum Syllabus prescribed for Ranchi University and Colleges under the recommended National Education Policy 2020. It comprehensively covers the theory and practical papers, namely, 'Microbiology, Phycology and Mycology' and 'Diversity & Economic Importance of Microbes' respectively. The theory part of the text introduces the students to acquire conceptual knowledge of diversity, life forms, life cycles, morphology and importance of microorganisms. It also discusses the classification, characteristic features, cell structure and growth and reproduction in viruses, bacteria and their economic importance. Relevant experiments corresponding to the theoretical topics and examples have been presented systematically to help students achieve sound conceptual understanding and learn the experimental procedures.
Well-labelled diagrams relevant to the topics have been provided for easy understanding of the concepts
Engaging chapter-end exercises have been provided for practice
Collection of experiments to stimulate interest and aid in learning and memorizing the practical aspect of the subject
Kitabu hiki kimeundwa ili kukidhi mahitaji ya B.Sc. Wanafunzi wa semesters ya kwanza ya Botaniki kulingana na mtaala wa kawaida wa chini uliopendekezwa kwa Chuo Kikuu cha Ranchi na Vyuo Vikuu chini ya sera ya elimu ya kitaifa ya 2020. Ni kina inashughulikia nadharia na karatasi za vitendo, yaani, 'Microbiology, Phycology na Mycology' na 'Diversity & Economic Importance of Microbes' kwa mtiririko huo. Sehemu ya nadharia ya maandishi huanzisha wanafunzi kupata maarifa ya dhana ya utofauti, aina za maisha, mizunguko ya maisha, morphology na umuhimu wa viumbe vidogo. Pia inazungumzia uainishaji, sifa za tabia, muundo wa seli na ukuaji na uzazi katika virusi, bakteria na umuhimu wao wa kiuchumi. Majaribio husika yanayolingana na mada za nadharia na mifano yamewasilishwa kwa utaratibu ili kuwasaidia wanafunzi kufikia uelewa mzuri wa dhana na kujifunza taratibu za majaribio. Mifano iliyo na alama nzuri zinazohusiana na mada zimetolewa kwa uelewa rahisi wa dhana za mafunzo ya mwisho wa sura zimetolewa kwa mazoezi Mkusanyiko wa majaribio ili kuchochea nia na kusaidia katika kujifunza na kukumbuka kipengele cha vitendo cha somo.
