Microbio's Life in UPM

Hello everyone! For this week, our lecturer makes a revision class before our test on Friday, hence we covered the topic on Introduction to Prokaryotes. What I have got from this class is we could know that the prokaryotes is defined as a group of microbe that lacks in nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. To understand the morphology of prokaryotes, we can identify it by viewing at the shape whether it is a cocci, bacilli, vibrio or spiral. For a prokaryote that is pleomorphic,...CONTINUE READING

Hello everyone! We're now in the fifth week of semester! Yay~! But, we're not done yet. There's a long road ahead that I haven't yet finish my journey. Last week, Dr. Wan asked us to upload a mindmap on Introduction to Prokaryotes in the Putrablast. So, for this week class, each of the group must write one of the points regarding the topic on the whiteboard in front of the class. My group got to write about the Flagella and how does it...CONTINUE READING

Hello everyone! For this week, we have learned a new topic about the Classification of Organism. We are divided into groups and each person in the group would search about sub-topic in the chapter such as the taxonomy, nomenclature, phylogenetic, methods and classification. Each of us will tell our findings to the others and vice versa. In this chapter, I found that the methods of classifying and identifying microorganisms gives a big impression to me since I also learn it in BMY3201 Basic...CONTINUE READING

Hello everyone! For this week, we have started a new topic that is, Microscopy.  This topic is about microscope and what kind of microscope is suitable to use since not all microbes can be seen under the same type of microscope, right? The microscope helps us to get the magnified image of the sample and it gets to separate the details in the image. There are two types of microscope which is the light microscope that has varieties, such as:      ...CONTINUE READING

Hello everyone! For this week, we continued from the last week's topic. We learnt about the characteristic of algae and virus. The algae's morphology can be identify by its colour. The algae can be found in either brown, green or red in colour. The reason why it's in different colour is because of the pigmentation that occur in the algae itself. For an application in industry, the algae is often used to make colour for shirts, making a dental mold, emulsifier and even...CONTINUE READING

Hello everyone! I am now officially a freshman in Universiti Putra Malaysia in Serdang and now taking Bachelor Sciences (Honours) Microbiology in Faculty of Biotechnology and Molecular Sciences. This is my first week in class and this blog is especially for BMY3101 Microbiology I subject. This week, we have our first class with Dr. Wan Zuhainis Saad, which is our lecture for this subject. We had a briefing on what we're going to learn in this subject. Microbiology is specifically a subject that...CONTINUE READING
