Abstract:
Isolation and characterization of microorganisms is a practice that aids in
Increasing ones knowledge of a laboratory setting and it helps improve on
Using sterile technique. Isolates of soil microbes can be categorized and
Characterized based on a number of criteria ranging from gram-staining
Which is done for this project to enumeration which is quantitative description
Based on the amount of microbial colonies available. The Antimicrobial
Activity of three different microbes were also tested and results were obtained
For two out of three of the microbes. Two out of three of the tested microbes
Exhibited antimicrobial activity towards the bacteria E. Coli and B. Mycoides
And the results were recorded. Microbes produce various antibiotics and by......
