MICROBIOLOGY PROJECT TOPICS

Below are some PROJECT TOPICS for your undergraduate and postgraduate (M.Sc. & Ph.D.) research studies. These project topics are only “suggestive in nature. This implies that they can be used as they are, or they can be modified and used as you so deem fit. @ www.MicrobiologyClass.net we are interested in the academic- and self-development

PROKARYOTIC CELLS

Prokaryotic cells are microbial cells that have chromosomes that are not separated from the cytoplasm by a membrane. Prokaryotic cells are different from eukaryotic cells. They are cells that lack a nucleus and other membrane-enclosed organelles like mitochondrion and chloroplast et cetera. Thus everything inside the cell of a prokaryote is openly accessible within the

TOOLS OF BIOTECHNOLOGY

Biotechnology uses the tools of molecular biology (i.e. genetic engineering) to produce novel products through the sole manipulation and modification of the genes and gene products of living systems including microorganisms. It borrows scientific expertise from a wide array of disciplines including but not limited to biochemistry, biology, genetics, chemistry, microbiology and molecular biology. Microbial

AXENIC (Gnotobiotic) ANIMALS 

Axenic animals are laboratory controlled animals that are germ-free i.e. animals that are not contaminated with any microorganisms and are devoid of any microflora. Such animals can also be called Gnotobiotic animals. Gnotobiotic or Axenic animals have tremendous medical research applications. The microflora from axenic animals help scientists to elucidate the relationship that exist between

APPERTIZATION

Appertization is simply defined as the heat-treatment of food at certain temperature levels that inhibit or kill pathogenic microorganisms present in the food. Unlike pasteurization which uses temperatures below 100oC to kill microbes in food, appertization (which was discovered by Nicolas Appert in the 18th century) is generally a food preservation technique that is used

SAFETY IN THE LABORATORY

Safety in the clinical microbiology laboratory should not be taken for granted. It is paramount that scientists including those visiting the laboratory for one task or the other and students on training imbibe and keep to all safety measures in order to avoid being infected by microorganisms. Laboratory workers, scientists and technicians working in the

SLIME MOULDS

Slime moulds are eukaryotic organisms that have fungus-like features as well as some animal- or protists-like features. Slime moulds were previously classified as fungi because of some characteristics which both organisms share. Slime moulds like fungi produce spores and fruiting bodies; and these features warranted there earlier classification as fungi but this is no longer

SIGNIFICANCE AND APPLICATIONS OF MICROORGANISMS

Mankind has harnessed the power of microorganisms to produce countless number of products such as bread, drugs, vaccines, cheese, fuel/energy, probiotics, beer and wine to mention but a few; and many other grounds are being explored and developed using the resourceful nature of microbial cells. Microorganisms are invisible forms of life with tremendous applications in
