Question

In An Aseptic Technique, what are the uses of bunsen burners in the working area when performing a microbiological experiment? What equipment is used to accelerate the growth of microorganisms in the experiment? (b) What is the setting of the equipment and explain briefly the reason behind the setting?

Study of lifeforms too small to see with the naked eye, including bacteria, viruses and protozoans. Microbiologists may study bacteria, yeast, or other microbes to understand better their reproduction, life cycle, or role in causing disease.
