MICROBIAL GROWTH & BIOTECHNOLOGY IN MICROBIAL ECOLOGY

Image
This week class, we learned about the microbial growth and aspects of biotechnology in microbial ecology. For the microbial growth, we will be able to distinguish the microbial reproduction which includes: binary fission, budding, fragmentation, sporulation and sexual reproduction. Next, we able s to describe the physical and chemical growth requirements for development of microbial community. For the physical requirements include the pH, water activity, light, and temperature. For the chemical growth requirements included water, carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus and sulfur, special growth factors and trace elements. For the aspects of biotechnology in microbial ecology, we need to describe the function in ecosystem.There are some function of microorganisms in microbial ecology which are as pollutant, as cause of pollutant, as indicator of pollution, may reduce pollution, for example oil spill and landfills. we also need to disting

PRINCIPLES IN ECOLOGY

This week class, we discussed about our topics of principle of ecology. Basically ecology can be define as the systematic study of organisms and their interactions with the environment and reveals the relationships between living and non-living parts of the environment. There are hierarchy in ecology. There are 5 level organization which is Species --> Populations --> Communities --> Ecosystems --> Biosphere. There are two distribution of organisms which are biotic (living things) and abiotic (nonliving things) eg: water, temperature, soil, rock and etc.  Biotic Abiotic Other than that, we also discuss about Homeostasis. It can define as dynamic balance of processes, materials and organisms in the ecosystem and biosphere. We also discuss about factors that may affect the stability of the ecosystem. Below are some of the factors: • Increase in the frequency of natural or unnatural disturbances

Second week in class

Welcome to my blog, as always i am going to update you guys about this week class of microbiology. Well this week we just do the flowchart how to isolate fungi and post it in padlet that was provided by Dr Wan. Then she look the flowchart by group. this is our flow chart you can refer here: https://padlet.com/wzs/BMY3102/wish/235384746 Other that Dr. Wan also going through the Fungi topics briefly.  After that Dr. Wan told us to  go back to search about journal on How to identify microbe through molecularly. Then, the next class she told us to do flowchart based on the journal that we choose and post it at padlet. https://padlet.com/wzs/BMY3102 That's all for the class this week. Thank you for visit and good bye. Have a nice day :)
