Introduction To differentiate between bacteria‚ fungi and yeast‚ we plant four different microbes in plates under the same environment for one week and compare the growth of the four microbes by macroscopic and microscopic observation. Meanwhile‚ the diversity of bacteria and fungi in humans‚ the environment and wood could be observed. In addition‚ the four substrates are cultured in two media‚ MEA and NA‚ under the same condition. Thus‚ how nutrients affect the growth of bacteria and fungi could

Chapter 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND Introduction The development of dyes to stain microorganisms was a significant advance in microbiology. Stains serve purposes such as it differentiate microorganisms from their surrounding environment and it allows detailed observation of microbial structures at high magnification.
