Analyze figures 2.7 and 2.8.
1. Guide questions:
a) What range of time and temperature combinations poses the highest risk? How do you say so?
b) Explain briefly why hazards and risks decrease as temperature decreases from 55oC upwards.
c) Discuss briefly why after 100 hours, the risk decreases even if the temperature is optimal for growth of pathogens.
d) Write a conclusion explaining the relationship between time and temperature as illustrated in the 2 figures.

- 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.
