5th week

During the microbiology class, we moved on into a new topic which is The External Structure of Prokaryotes. Dr Wan explained about the subtopics and things that we will be learning in the topic.

During the last 1 hour, we were assigned to discuss in groups about the' Adopt A Microbe' project. We divided the task among our group members to gather information about  the microbe that we want to adopt. We decided to adopt magnetostatic bacteria ! These bacteria is very unique and interesting to study. We also had to prepare for 3MT during the next class about our adopted bacteria. The 3MT session was very helpful to gain so much knowledge. It also help us to be more curious and we managed to discover lots of new things :D






Basic Technique

Microscopy is the science of investigating small objects and structures using such an instrument which is microscope. During the experiments for this week, we learned on how to handle microscope in a proper manner. It is very important as to prevent the microscope from any damage. We were given few prepared slides to examine under the compound light microscope. Different lens has different magnification, thus it will result in different size of cells that we observed. Other than that, we also learned on how to measure the microbial size.

First Class of Second Semester (2nd Week)

Hi peeps! 😊 For our first microbiology class, we were briefed about topics that we are going to learn throughout this second semester generally. And of course, more upcoming projects that we have during this sem. We were divided into new groups and assigned with specific microorganisms for each group. I am in group Fungi 🍄 During the second class of the class, we were given a task to construct a mind map about Microbial Systematic in Fungi. We swapped our mind map with other groups and jotted down things or information that were not stated in the mind map yet. This activity help us to share informations and improved among each other. This semester will be a long and tiring as we have a lot of assignments and lab reports 😪😴  But we will boost up our energy to go through this semester really well and excellenty! 💪

Entering the Microbial World

What is microorganism? Microorganism is a small and tiny living things that cant be seen with our naked eyes. Groups of microorganisms During the first week of lecture, we have been introduced to the microbial world. We also learned that not all of the microorganisms are harmful and virulent that can causes diseases, but most of them give benefits in many ways. APPLICATIONS: ⇨Medical ⇨Food ⇨Industrial ⇨Immunology ⇨Agricultural ⇨Genetic ⇨Enviromental ADDITIONAL INFO!
