4	To understand the reproduction and growth of bacteria;
5	To learn propagation and dissemination of the bacteria;
6	To be able to distinguish bacteria than yeast;
7	To learn how to adjust bacterial inoculum concentrations;
8	To learn ways to spread plant pathogenic bacteria;
9	To learn symptoms, life circles, epidemiology and control methods of important phytopathogen bacteria;
10	To be learn control methods of plant pathogenic bacteria.;
