Introduction to Microbial Physiology & Metabolism

Microbial physiology is simply defined as the study of the cell structure, growth factors, metabolic activities, nutritional requirement and the genetic composition of microorganisms. It is generally the study of the metabolic activities of microorganisms at both the cellular and molecular levels. Physiology is defined as the study of life processes in living cells. Microbial […]

Colonial morphology of microorganisms

DrChika

Microorganisms produce definite patterns on culture media plates as they grow and divide. These specific patterns (inclusive of shapes and sizes) also aid in the preliminary identification of the organisms for further characterization. Colonial morphology is the size, shape, colour, texture and the general structure of an individual colony of a particular microorganism (in this

Microbial Growth

DrChika

Growth is simply defined as an irreversible increase in the size of an organism. It is one of the characteristics of living organisms. In microbiological terms, growth is basically the increase in the cell size and cell mass of a bacterial cell, and it occur during the development of the organism. Growth in microorganisms unlike
