MICROBIOLOGY: PART 4 (STUDENT PROJECT)
4.0 Introduction Water microbiology is concerned with the microorganisms that live in water, or can be transported from one habitat to another by water. Water can support the growth of many types of microorganisms. This can be advantageous. For example, the chemical activities of certain strains of yeasts provide us with beer and bread. As well, the growth of some bacteria in contaminated water can help digest the poisons from the water. Because of that, we have decided to take a few samples of water source to investigate the quantity of microorganism in each of these water sample. 4.1 Objectives 1. To investigate the presence of microorganism in water 2. To determine which of those water samples contain the most and the least microorganism 3. To know which one of those water samples is the safest to be consumed 4.2 Materials and Apparatus 1. ...
