ABSTRACT
This practical was regarding microorganisms in the environment as we know microorganisms are everywhere ,this session was divided in three parts where in part A of the practical we planted microorganisms on different petri dishes in order to verify if the microorganisms are really everywhere The necessity and value of collecting, identifying, and analyzing the various microbes regularly encountered in the daily human environment becomes quite apparent .when one gains even a very basic knowledge of how diseases are acquired and spread. The purpose of this lab was to collect and observe microbes from environmental and human body samples by culturing them on the appropriate media using aseptic transfer techniques. And also regard different effect of temperature on microbial growth in Part B ,and looking also the resistance of Bacteria to heat ,the result on was quite visible ,in part A of this practical we noticed the extremely growth of microbes on different petri dishes and the growth was differing according to the way we inoculated the petri dishes ,and in Part B we saw that the Temperature was really affecting the growth of Microbes as well as in part C where we saw that some Microbes are really resisting to heat .I was impressed by the way that microorganisms are everywhere regarding the way
