The Sanger DNA sequencing method was developed by Frederick Sanger in 1972. It uses dideoxynucleotides that are when incorporated into DNA, terminate the amplifying strains. This creates strands of DNA that when run on an agarose gel, show a DNA ladder that maps the original DNA sequence. These fragments can also be read on a fluorescence detector.

Microbiology covers the scope and sequence requirements for a single-semester microbiology course for non-majors. The book presents the core concepts of microbiology with a focus on applications for careers in allied health. The pedagogical features of the text make the material interesting and accessible while maintaining the career-application focus and scientific rigor inherent in the subject matter. Microbiology’s art program enhances students’ understanding of concepts through clear and effective illustrations, diagrams, and photographs.

Microbiology is produced through a collaborative publishing agreement between OpenStax and the American Society for Microbiology Press. The book aligns with the curriculum guidelines of the American Society for Microbiology.
