MicrobeWiki

Welcome to MicrobeWiki
MicrobeWiki is a free wiki resource on microbes and microbiology, authored by
students at many colleges and universities. Curated pages such as those linked to
the Taxonomy Index are reviewed and updated by microbiologists at Kenyon College.
Student pages authored independently, or for coursework, are not monitored further.
Interested readers are encouraged to add information, after registering a free
account.

Featured Class: The University of Oklahoma Italian Center, taught by Tyrrell

Conway.

Educators: You may assign MicrobeWiki page creation and editing as projects for
your students. We create a template page for your assignment, which you may edit to
meet your needs. Your students receive individual passwords. Assessment and grading
are up to you; after your class is over, we review pages for our standards.
Students of all levels, from first-year to graduate students, have contributed
pages to our site. See for example:

BIOL 375 Virology, Joan L. Slonczewski, Kenyon College

BIOL 238 Project Index 2016, Joan L. Slonczewski, Kenyon College
BI 230 Microbiology, Dr. Kirk Bartholomew, Sacred Heart University

and John Foster (W. W. Norton & Co.)

You can now conveniently manage a reference list in a page on MicrobeWiki using the
Cite extension. See the Zika virus page for an example
