Introduction As a microbiologist, one of the most important components of our study is the appropriate preservation of bacteria cultures to maintain their viability and lifespan. In this post, we will look at the numerous short-term and long-term storage strategies…
Introduction There are more than 100 microbiology books out of which I mention a few most popular and readable general microbiology books that include general laboratory Practices and theory books. Let’s discuss them one by one 1. Microbiology: An Introduction…
Overview of archeal flagella Archaeal flagella, or archaella, have been studied in detail in only a few model archaea. They are superficially similar to their bacterial counterparts, but important differences have been identified. Archaella are thinner than bacterial flagella (10 to…
Introduction Definition of a Biosafety Cabinet Class 2 A class 2 biological safety cabinet (BSC II) is an enclosed, ventilated workstation meant to protect both humans and the environment. A Biosafety Cabinet Class 2’s principal function is to establish a…
Introduction Archaea and bacteria are two distinct categories in the vast field of microbiology that fascinate both academics and scientists. Despite their microscopic size, these microorganisms have a large impact on human health and have significant role in many ecosystems.…
Introduction Precision is the key to discovering the mysteries of microscopic life forms in microbiology. Serial dilution is a crucial method that enables researchers to produce precise and repeatable results. We shall examine the subtleties of serial dilution and its…
Introduction An essential component of understanding the large diversity of microorganisms that live in our world is bacterial classification. By classifying bacteria according to their nutritional requirements, we learn a great deal about their metabolic capacities and ecological functions. This article…
Introduction The bacterial microorganisms, which are present in a wide range of diversity and play a significant role in the operation of diverse ecosystems. In order to gain an understanding of their traits and interconnections, researchers have developed a multitude…
Introduction The process of Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) testing involves exposing microorganisms to varying concentrations of an antimicrobial agent with the aim of identifying the minimum concentration that inhibits their observable growth. Microbial enumeration is commonly carried out through dilution…
What is Mueller Hinton Agar The story of Mueller Hinton Agar begins in the mid-20th century when Dr. John Howard Mueller and Dr. Jane Hinton collaborated to develop a standardized medium for bacterial susceptibility testing. In 1941, they introduced the…
