Basic Laboratory Practice in Microbiology provides insights in the methods of isolation and cultivation, morphology of microorganisms, the determination of biochemical activities of microorganisms, and physical and chemical effects on microorganisms, being essential requirements and applications in microbiological studies and researches. Divided in five sections Basic Laboratory Practice in Microbiology includes methods of preparation of media and their sterilization, microorganisms in environment, aseptic techniques, pure culture techniques, preservation of cultures, morphological characteristics of microorganisms, wet-mount and hanging-drop techniques, different staining techniques, cultural and biochemical characteristics of bacteria, antimicrobial effects of agents on microorganisms, hand scrubbing in the removal of microorganisms and characteristics of fungi and uses of bacteriophages in different applications. Applications are designed to be common, complete with equipment, minimal expense and quick to the markets. Images are added to the applications to follow the expressions better and make them more understandable. Basic Laboratory Practice in Microbiology is an essential book for students and researchers in microbiology, health sciences, food engineering and technology, and medicine, as well as anyone working in a laboratory setting with microorganisms. Gives a complete procedure for all steps of experiments and explanatory, helping anyone easily understand the experimental proceduresIncludes certain subjects that tend to be disregarded in other microbiology laboratory book such as microorganisms in environment, pure culture methods, wet-mount and Hanging drop methods, biochemical characteristics of microorganisms, osmotic pressure effects on microorganisms, antiseptic and disinfectants effects on microorganisms, temperature effects on microorganisms, and effect of hand scrubbing on microorganisms and quantification of bacteriophagesProvides grouping and characterization of microorganismsFunctions as a representative reference book for the field of microbiology laboratory INDICE: 1. Microbiological Media and Culture Techniques 2. Techniques on Morphological examination of Bacteria 3. Biochemical and Cultural Characteristics of Microorganisms 4. Chemical and Physical Effects on Microorganisms 5. Fungi and Bacteriophage 6. Preparation of Culture Media, Stains and Solutions
