As you asking Pune university Bsc. microbiology program syllabus , so on your demand I am providing same :


Duration: The duration of B.Sc. (Microbiology) Degree Program shall be three years.

Medium of Instruction: The medium of instruction for the course shall be English.

To accommodate more advanced topics in the syllabi, it is necessary to understand the base
science knowledge level of the students that have chosen the Microbiology discipline. Curricula
of courses of state and central boards of higher secondary level were reviewed to avoid
repetitions of introductory cell biology.
At first year of under-graduation, students will be given the basic information that includes –
characteristics of microbial world. The microorganisms will be studied for morphological,
structural characterization, isolations techniques from natural and extreme environments and
their prominent features. The methodology for observation i.e. different microscopy techniques,
staining techniques and nutritional requirements will be taught in detail; including these aspects
at laboratory level as well. Introduction to biochemical characterization of components of micro-
organism e.g. proteins, lipids, nucleic acids and carbohydrates and instrumental techniques to
estimate these components qualitatively and quantitatively from micro-organisms or other
natural sources will be the focus for second theory paper. Relevant experimentation on these
topics will be included in practical course. In practical course, students will be trained in preparing
laboratory manuals, standard operating practices and log books.
At second year under-graduation, principles of taxonomy and classification of major groups of
microorganisms can be studied in one of the papers. This paper will also include the physiological
studies on these groups of micro-organisms. Second paper will deal with Air and Water
Microbiology; role of micro-organisms in environment in regards to pollution and biodegradation;
water and sewage treatment. Practical for the second year students will be less defined i.e. kept
more flexible, designed to evolve project themes on environment, agriculture and pollution
aspects and acquiring laboratory related skills. Practical at this level will also include application
of biostatistics principles and computers for data analysis and interpretation, and introduction to
scientific writing and report preparation. These aspects can be practiced better while carrying out
the mini-projects.
At third year under-graduation, six theory papers deal with broad applied areas of microbiology
that are interactive with higher living forms. Five such areas are – medical microbiology, microbial
physiology, microbial (prokaryotic and eukaryotic) genetics, immunology and immunopathology,
fermentation technology. The sixth course will be Applied Microbiology that will include – Dairy
Microbiology, Food Microbiology, Fermentation Technology, Agriculture Biotechnology, Fungal
Biotechnology, etc. The practical at third year will be planed more intensively, with exposure to
applied fields.
