Mikrobiologi Tanah (PIB16013) merupakan mata kuliah pilihan semester gasal bagi mahasiswa S1 Program Studi Biologi Fakultas MIPA Universitas Mataram. Bobot mata kuliah  3 SKS (2 SKS teori dan 1 SKS praktikum). Mahasiswa dapat memprogramkan mata kuliah ini jika sebelumnya telah menempuh mata kuliah Mikrobiologi (BIO16411) dan Fisiologi Mikrob (BIO16507).

Materi kuliah Mikrobiologi Tanah meliputi:

1) Microbiology of natural soil; 2) Microbiology of dry-land soil North Lombok and other extreme soils; 3) Soil microbe and nutrient cycling; 4) The role of microbial communities in the formation and decomposition of SOM; 5) Intimate association of beneficial soil microbe with host plant; 6) Soil-borne pathogen and the interaction with the soil environment; 7) Utilizing soil microbes for biocontrol (biocontrol development); 8) The impact of land-use practices on soil microbes and sustainable agriculture; 9)The effects of plant breeding on soil microbe; 10) Evaluating the economic and social impact of soil microbe.

Setelah mengikuti mata kuliah ini, mahasiswa diharapkan mampu:

1) Membandingkan keanekaragaman mikrob pada berbagai jenis tanah; 2) Menganalisis hubungan mikrob tanah, land-use practises, dan perubahan iklim dalam konteks pertanian berkelanjutan ; 3) Membuat ulasan jurnal/proposal/mini project mengenai aplikasi mikrob tanah.
