11th week

Class trip ☺


Since Dr Wan is away to Sydney, we have our class trip to Institut Biosains (IBS). This is a place where post graduate students do their research. The main reasons we went there was to learn more about electron microscopy. 

There, we were introduced and explained about the process that are taken in order to prepare the samples for the observation under electron microscopy later. Some of the staffs were assigned to explained to us. We have opportunities to see few electron microscope such as Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) and etc. I was very amazed by the micrograph that appeared at the computer screen.

Basic Technique of Microbiology

During this week lab session, we had carried out an experiment on oxygen requirements for microorganisms. There are two conditions that we had incubated the bacterial samples either aerobic condition  ( presence of oxygen) and anaerobic condition ( absent of oxygen).

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! 💪

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!
