Genomic Techniques in Ecological Genomics Ecological genomics is “an interdisciplinary field that seeks to understand the genetic and physiological basis of species interactions for evolutionary inferences” (Renn‚ Siemens 2010). Here I will focus on the genomic techniques that can be used to answer ecological genomic questions. An overarching goal in the field of ecological genomics is to find the genes that matter in species interactions‚ and then to study the ecological consequences

Techniques for Isolation of Pure Cultures Objective : i. To perform the spread plate and the streak plate inoculation procedure for the separation of the cells of a mixed culture so that discrete colonies can be isolated. ii. To prepare a stock culture of an organism using isolates from the mixed cultures prepared on the agar streak-plate and/or the spread plate. Introduction : In order to be able to adequately study and characterize a certain microorganism‚ microbiologists need to separate
