Manual Of Industrial Microbiology And Biotechnology

The department sustains the rich heritage of both disciplines. Edward Voorhees established the Department of Soil Chemistry and Bacteriology in 1901, the first department of agricultural microbiology in the country. The biochemistry component of the department had its genesis in 1925 at the School of Agriculture as the Department of Agricultural Biochemistry. In 1965, these departments merged to form the Department of Biochemistry and Microbiology. The academic programs in Biochemistry and Microbiology serve the central mission of the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences, the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station, and Rutgers University through the department's fundamental and applied research and instruction in microbiology and biochemistry. The fields of microbiology and biochemistry are major contributors to industrial development; human, animal and plant health; environmental integrity; and agricultural productivity.
