Description

In the Microbiology world we come across new research that can help us evolve and help us better the world. Believe it or not microbiology helps us open our eyes and mind into discovering things that are so small but yet have a huge impact in our world. Which is why it's important to have an understanding of microbiology and what it has to offer, with that being said. For this specific research I have collected a sample of a specific soil and had it tested for the different microbes that are currently living in my soil sample. I’ve learned new techniques such as serial dilution, selecting candidates, creating master plates, antibiotic screening. To explore further more on these microbes. I learned that there are several bacteria that live in soil and their morphologies can vary. Throughout this research I’ve gone through trial and error to see the evolution of the bacteria that lives in my soil sample to come up with different results and conclusions.
