WEEK 3

BMY3102 MICROBIOLOGY II
WHAT HAVE I LEARN?

We continue on the journal about the how to culture a fungi. Dr go through all our flow chart group by group. Dr give comment on all the flow chart and correct some mistakes which frequently done by all of us. The flow chart must include title and also the source of references. Many of us didn't write the title of flow chart. Our group get praise from Dr as we done the flow chart by referring on a journal.Next, we are given time to comment on other's group flow chart. We can ask anything that we don't know and what we don't understand. Dr then go through the comment and give more explanation and answer. After that, Dr go through about fungi and algae on the notes. Before end of the class, we are advised to do revision on the topic of fungi and algae for the quiz on friday. We have to find the journal article about how to isolate virus.

This is the link of journal article that I found. It is about isolation of Hendra virus from pteropid bats: a natural reservoir of Hendra virus. Some of our classmate didn't upload the journal article on padlet. We are given time to upload the journal at least one of each person and choose the best article to convert into flow chart. In the end, my groupmate choose the article that i found. We read the article together and work into the flow chart. Along the isolation, we have to do the RNA isolation, PCR, nucleotide sequencing, IFA staining and others important steps. At the last 30 mins, Dr talk about some notes for next week topic.
