Hands-on Microbiology
Students in MB 360 and LSC 170 explore Delftia through lab work, including spot-plate assays, and investigate its biology through scientific publications.
Undergraduate Research Projects
Explore student research on Delftia acidovorans, from hands-on lab work to collaborative investigations of the scientific literature.
Explore Student Projects
Students have contributed to a range of research and education projects through course-based research experiences and community collaboration.
Gold Recovery and E-Waste
Students and community annotators investigated how Delftia's gold-biomineralizing abilities might contribute to recovering gold from electronic waste.
Exploring Delftia as a Pathogen
Collaborative literature reviews and annotations examined published case studies of Delftia acidovorans infections and how this bacterium is identified in medical research.
WikiEDU and Science Communication
In 2020, 17 undergraduate volunteers took part in the Delftia WikiEDU program, working to improve access to information about Delftia on Wikipedia.
Student Research in Action
Course-based research experiences give students the opportunity to ask questions, work with scientific evidence, and share what they learn. The projects above reflect contributions to microbiology, biotechnology, and public access to science.
