Culturing Fungi

This was our last Microbiology practical.The fungi was isolated from the soil that was obtained from mangrove,paddy field,pond and university cafeteria.My group was given mangrove soil for this practical.

The fungi species was obtained through serial dilution,same as the last practical which we isolate bacteria,just that we used a different media.The media we used this time was specialized for growing fungi.

After we did the serial dilution we used a pipette to pipette out the sample,put it on the agar and use the spread plate method to spread the sample evenly on the surface of the agar.Then put in into the incubator and leave it for 1 week.

Below are the results of the practical =)
