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. The main motive behind writing this manual has been to develop an attitude towards adopting the basic techniques in microbiology that will ensure personal safety while handling any experimental microorganism. This book is designed for all those who are related to the world of microbes. Thus, students and teachers belonging to the courses of basic science of Microbiology, Pharmacy, Medicine, Veterinary, Dairy, Agriculture, Food technology, Biotechnology and Genetics will find this manual quite useful to build a foundation for specialized or applied studies.
