The purpose of any laboratory manual must be to reinforce the knowledge in realistic form about the theory taught in the classroom or learned from reading the books and journals. Therefore, attempt has been made to present the text in lucid language and logical sequence. The arrangement of the experiments closely parallels to matter of the subject. One of the fascinating aspects of microbiology practical has been the living nature of every experiment. Experimentation become a pleasant and rewarding experience of academic career. But a word of caution, one should never forget that although a vast majority of the microorganisms are harmless, some obviously are not. Certain rules and procedures must be adhered to very strictly.
