Introduction to Industrial Microbiology

Microorganisms have played significant roles over the years in the alleviation of diseases and infections in man, animals and plants. Most of the drugs and/or antimicrobial agents used to keep infectious microbes at bay and even vaccines used for vaccination exercises are naturally sourced from microorganisms. However, microbes also play significant roles in helping to

Centrifuge

Centrifuge is an instrument is used to separate suspensions or particulate matter in a liquid based on their different sedimentation properties or densities. The centrifuge machine is generally used in the microbiology laboratory to sediment or separate different macromolecules (especially particulate matter) in a solution. Liquid specimens such as urine and blood can be spinned
