Laboratory Manual in Microbiology

We feel blissful to make available our book ‘Laboratory Manual in Microbiology’ to the students, teachers and all other readers. This book is a sweet fruit to the honest and hard efforts for five years. Keeping in view the requirements of students and teachers, it is our humble attempt to present the contents in a lucid and appealing manner. The book constitutes ‘14’ Sections including experiments conducted in the Microbiology laboratories with particular reference to the approach, requirements, procedure and interpretation of results and conclusion. The book constitutes ‘160’ figures, Index in detail, Separate Appendices and List of References for further reading. We have tried to cover maximum areas in Practical Microbiology along with the experiments in Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Environmental Science, Dairy Science and other courses related to these subjects. This book is very useful to conduct the experiments related to Agricultural Microbiology, Microbiology of Drinking Water and Sewage, Microbiology of Food and Milk, Air Microbiology, Microbial Metabolism (Enzymology), Genetics, Molecular Biology, Medical Microbiology, Pathology, Industrial Microbiology, etc. We hope that, this book would help to understand the basic concepts in Microbiology and make easy for the students and teachers to conduct experiments in microbiology and other subjects of life sciences. We heartily welcome the comments and suggestions from students and teachers which will be helpful for necessary improvements in subsequent edition. On this occasion, it is our great pleasure and prime duty to express gratefulness to our family members, teachers, Honorable President and all other members of Maharashtra Education Society, Principal, Librarian and Other staff members of our college. We also express my sincere thanks to the Librarians of different Universities and Colleges where we visited for reference work regarding this book and Authors of many books those we referred.
