4.0 out of 5 stars IT COVERED BOTH TECHNIQUES AND PRECAUTIONS, March 30, 2003

By 

reviewer (Zurich, Switzerland.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Microbiological Applications: A Laboratory Manual in General Microbiology, Complete Version (Spiral-bound)

Apart from hinting that this book is more expensive than I had expected, there is no negative comment I have for it.
It is a well-defined lab manual, which will be useful for both students and investigative scientists. The book covered all aspect of microbiology: including related parasitology topics.
It explained various methods used in the identification and classification of all types of microorganisms. High-level undergraduates should appreciate the directives it gave concerning culture-media preparation, as well as sequential isolation of bacteria, fungi, viruses, protozoa, and microscopic algae. The same applies to its handling of general microscopy: including the advantages and disadvantages of each type of microscope. This is a very fine companion, which discussed every technique and precaution used in contemporary microbiology lab.
