This time the book review examines the book Microbiology Teaching Materials published by UGM Press which was very enthusiastic from the participants. This book is a book that discusses microbiology in general. This book is different from other microbiology teaching materials which are usually specific to the science of application in agriculture, health, or other fields. The Book of Microbiology Teaching Materials is for S-1 students, but this book can also be read by the general public. Knowledge of basic microbiology is needed for students, especially biology students. This is related to the role of microbes that are very important in life. Dr. Miftahul Ilmi, M.Sc. also added that to support understanding of microbiology must study the science of biochemistry and molecular cell biology. In addition, this book also briefly discusses the methods used in microbiological scientific practice.
In addition to the book review, this event is also a form of collaboration with UGM Press to introduce books produced by UGM lecturers. Especially for this event, the books were discounted as much as 20%. The event was also attended by the Chairman of the Biology Faculty Senate Prof. Dr. Suwarno Hadisusanto and Deputy Dean of Finance, Assets, and Human Resources, Faculty of Biology, UGM. At the end of this event, a door prize was distributed in the form of a Microbiology Teaching Material book to the 5 audiences who had asked. The event was attended by around 80 participants from various levels of education who were certainly interested in microbiology.
This book is highly recommended for beginners who will be interested in studying microbiology. Some audiences are very interested in microbiology related to its application in everyday life. Dr. Endah Retnaningrum, S.Si., M.Eng. also explained some microbiological applications in everyday life, for example, microbiology in making tape through fermentation whose alcohol content can be controlled through the amount of yeast applied and how microbes are introduced to newborns so that the baby’s digestion can work properly. UGM Manager Press, Dr. I Wayan Mustika, welcomed the book review of the UGM Faculty of Biology. “The Book of Microbiology Teaching Materials helps students understand and prepare themselves in lectures or through related libraries (learning to know),” said Wayan. Head of UGM Publishing and Publication Agency, Dr. Widodo, appreciated the book review activities. “Hopefully book review activities like this continue, the collaboration with UGM Press in promoting Academic works is increasingly in demand by writers, especially the lecturers at the Faculty of Biology UGM, the 64th Faculty of Biology,” Widodo said.
