Reflective on Introduction to Microbial world I have learns many thing in this topics and this earliest topic taught me to know more about the microbiology world. Before this, I did not know what is exactly happen in the microbial world but this topics taught me that there are a lot of microbe in the world and the scope of the microbiology are the archae, bacteria, fungi, virus, algae and protozoa. Besides that, there are one minute paper that conducted by Dr wan and this activity makes us to refresh our knowledge about the characteristics of the prokaryotes and the types of prokaryotes that exist in this world.
Reflective on The major division of life There are several things that I got from this topic which are : • I learn that there are several theory used in the major division of microbes which are germ theory, biogenesis, spontaneous theory. • I also learn that Antoine de Leeuwenhoek is the father of microbiology • I learn several terms such as vaccination by Robert Koch • I learn about the Koch’s postulates.
