Graduate and Research Programmes
There are at present several major areas of study in the department in which graduate students may specialize. These include biochemical microbiology, soil microbiology, freshwater algology, palaeobotany of the Pleistocene, ecology of freshwater invertebrates, invertebrate physiology, fisheries and water pollution. It is hoped that others will have been added by the time this calendar is published.
Fields in which research is in progress in the department are as follows: The transport mechanisms across the cellular membranes of bacteria and of the mode of action of chemical inhibitors of microorganisms.
The nature and activity of the microbial populations of forest soils.
Fungi in the root region of crop plants with special reference to root development and nutrient uptake.
The ecology of the algae in lakes and streams, the dynamics of their growth and the mechanisms of their distribution and flotation.
The ecology of peat bogs together with their palynology and the plant composition of the peat.
