Mechanism

Follow the mechanism step by step and distinguish what causes the change from what is merely observed.

This extension applies that lens specifically to Microbiology.

Microbiology

Microbial growth, metabolism, genetics and ecology determine beneficial and harmful interactions.

Core checkpoint: A culture result depends on medium, temperature, time and sampling conditions.

Key idea
