Microbiology is a field of science which typically is divided into several areas such as: bacteriology‚ virology‚ parasitology and immunology. The goal of microbiology is to increase the specific knowledge of a known microorganism and by extension counter the spread of harmful microorganisms and to learn practical applications of research results. A microbiologist studies the structure‚ metabolism‚ genetics and ecology of microorganisms such as bacteria‚ viruses‚ fungi or algae. A microbiologist

Identification of bacteria is a multistep process because while some preliminary guesses can be made from the morphology of microbes on various differential agars‚ various other tests need to be done to differentiate and confirm their identity. RESULTS Bacteriology – When grown on MacConkey agar‚ A had abundant growth of pink punctiform colonies that are circular and moist. Microbes A are gram-negative cocci. B had moderate growth of yellow punctiform colonies that are circular and moist. Microbes B cells

Investigating the Growth of P. fluorescens Biofilms at the Air-Liquid Interface and the Variations in Biofilm Integrity Abstract Pseudomonas fluorescens produces biofilms in a variety of environments‚ and in experimental situations has been shown to develop random mutations resulting in a phonotypical change in the resulting biofilm. One particular mutation resulted in the growth of a biofilm known as the Wrinkly Spreader‚ which produced a thicker‚ stronger biofilm that had a stronger attachment
