In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Definition of Meta-Genomics 2. Study of Meta-Genomics 3. Applications. Definition of Meta-Genomics: The meta-genomics refers to the collection of genes sequenced from the environmental samples. Due to advancement in molecular biology, meta-genomics is described as sequencing of genetic material from environment i.e. uncultured samples.

Culture Media: Types, Preparation and Requirements

The culture media (nutrients) consist of chemicals which support the growth of culture or microorganisms. Microbes can use the nutrients of culture media as their food is necessary for cultivating them in vitro. Types of Culture Media: The first medium prepared was meat-infusion broth. As most pathogenic microbes require complex food similar in composition to the fluids of the animal [...]
