- EXPERIMENT:EFFECT OF CARBON SOURCES ON THE MICROBIAL GROWTH. 1.OBJECTIVE To study the effect of media components on microbial growth 2.PROCEDURES Preparation of fungal suspension inoculums Prepare the laminar cabinet for the inoculum preparation by applying normal aseptic techniques To a full-grown fungal Petri dish, add 25ml sterilized distilled water and rub the agar gently with glass rod Pour the suspension into an empty flask and continue previous steps to achieve your desired volume of inoculums suspension. Cotton-plugged and aluminium-wrapped the mouth of inoculum flask. For certain fungal species like Niger, the suspension from the agar should be filtered upon pouring into the inoculum’s flask. Preparation of salt media of different carbon sources. Prepare the Modified Czapek Dox media by weighing the following salts according to your desired working volume.
