You are tasked with attempting to culture microbes in the lab that were initially obtained from samples taken in and near the Arctic circle, in areas of extreme cold and either very long or very short days, depending on the time of year. How would you begin to try to grow these microbes in the lab, and why would you choose those methods?

1) Describe how would you isolate each of the two unknown bacteria given to you in a mixed culture? Also, describe how would you prepare a pure culture of each of the unknown bacterium that can be used to do the biochemical tests to identify these unknowns? 2) After obtaining the pure culture of each of the unknown species from the mixed culture, what is the next important test performed before performing the biochemical tests?
Farhan A.
Some endophytes produce compounds that fight bacteria, making them potential new sources of antibiotics. Describe an experimental method that would allow you to screen endophytes for antibacterial activity.
