different analysis; microscopy‚ soil microbiology and bacterial growth. The main aim of laboratory work with Escherichia coli and soil sample was to introduce students to bacterial growth in pure culture and soil microbial flora. The experiment of bacterial growth in pure culture using optical density measurement‚ plate count and DAPI direct count‚ showed that Plate Spread method was more precise to understand bacterial population growth tendency and counting generation time.
