microbiological techniques

Microbiological techniques involve methods used to study and grow tiny organisms called microbes, such as bacteria and fungi. These methods include taking samples, cultivating microbes on special nutrient-rich media, and observing them under microscopes. Scientists use sterilization to prevent contamination and apply various tests to identify and analyze microbial characteristics. Techniques like staining help visualize microbes, while assays determine their properties or effects. Overall, these methods enable accurate detection, identification, and understanding of microbes, essential for medicine, research, and ensuring safety in many environments.
