Eduzendium - a Citizendium initiative
This article is currently being developed as part of the Eduzendium initiative. It is a student project involving the General Microbiology course at Queens College in New York City. As such, it is closed to outside editing for the duration of the course.
The anticipated date of course completion is 1st May 2008. At the end of the project period, this notice will be removed and the article reopened to general editing.
Thank you.
