Microbiology and Bacterial Genetics Courses on the web
These are classes from various universities that maintain a webpage for the class. In general, there are class notes, syllabi and in some cases problem sets included on these sites. These are also useful to get an idea what other scientists in the field deem important enough to include in their class.
