Hi everyone, welcome to the Micro-foods Bug Club!

I began my journey of exploration on microbiology of foods this week. It’s so exciting! I obtained a bacteria culture which is Staphylococcus epidermidis and then I used aseptic transfer technique to transfer the pure bacteria culture to sterile broth, sterile agar slant and sterile agar plate. What’s more, I also inoculated unknown bacteria from contaminated water sample and seafood sample on Luria agar plates, MacConkey agar plate, XLD agar plate and EMB agar plate under different conditions, such as different temperature.

I can’t wait seeing the bacteria growth results next Monday!
