Microbes in Practice deals with almost every aspect of human
existence, identifying important technologies that are critical to
fulfilling the potential of microbes. Microbiology impinges mostly
with the large group of fungi, bacteria and viruses which equal in
diversity and physiological phenomena the more traditional group of
organisms within the disciplines of botany and zoology. During
recent years the study of microorganisms has contributed important
insights into the basic problems of biology. Because of their ease
of manipulation, rapid growth, highly developed capacity for
adaptation, and other properties, microorganisms are one of the
preferred objects of research in biochemistry and genetics. The
topics and techniques covered in this book reflect this diversity.
The methods described are in simple language supplemented with
illustrations and media. The chapters include results and flow
charts. The subject matter and the results are illustrated with
clear line diagrams. Beginning with the characteristic difference
between prokaryotes and eukaryotes and the classification of
microorganisms the book outlines the various methods used to
characterize and cultivate different forms of microbes, the
different media used and the procedures involved in the isolation
and characterization of microorganisms. Several staining
procedures, chemical compositions of media, biochemical tests,
medical microbiology and immunology, microbes in relation to
plants, waste management, industrial application, aquatic
environment and soil are covered in different chapters. Separate
chapters have been formulated for dairy and food microbiology and
medical microbiology and immunology with application of the
membrane filter technique. Mushroom cultivation technology is
described in depth. The exercises keep in mind the hazards of
chemicals and only those exercises which minimize the exposure of
students to potentially pathogenic organisms and hazardous
chemicals are given.
