Overview

The book in question comprises 15 chapters, each focusing on a specific aspect of microbiology. These chapters include techniques for isolating microbes from various sources, such as soil, water, and seeds, as well as methods for assessing microbial growth and sensitivity to antibiotics. Additionally, the book covers topics such as bacterial transformation, fermentation, and microbial analysis of air, soil, and water. The authors have designed the book to provide laboratory techniques for undergraduate and postgraduate students to complete assignments in their course syllabi. To aid in understanding, many of the methods are illustrated with flowcharts and diagrams. The authors are confident that the book will be a valuable resource for those seeking to learn and perform microbiological experiments in the laboratory.
