Course Outcomes

• Understand and apply techniques for enumerating microorganisms from soil and analyzing microbial diversity.
• Isolate and cultivate specific soil microorganisms, including nitrogen-fixing bacteria, actinomycetes, fungi, and phosphate solubilizers.
• Perform microbiological analyses of drinking water, including standard plate counts, tests for fecal pollution, and determination of coliform levels using MPN methods.
• Conduct microbiological evaluations of milk, including standard plate counts, microbial load determination (MBRT and RRT), detection of fecal coliforms and acid-fast bacteria, and tests for adulteration. • Analyze microbial contamination in food using standard plate counts, MPN techniques, and detection of microbial enzymes like amylase, protease, and lipase.
• Isolate and cultivate yeast from various sources.
• Study the morphology and characteristics of microorganisms such as Amoeba, Euglena, Paramecium, Diatoms, and Spirogyra through permanent slides.
