Question Detail
Question
The "Five I's" are basic microbiology laboratory procedures. Which of the following is NOT one of these procedures?
Correct Answer
Option C is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Slide 3, 'CULTURE TECHNIQUES (CULTURING),' states the five basic microbiology laboratory procedures (five 'I's') are inoculation, incubation, isolation, inspection, and identification. Incineration is a method of sterilization, not one of the 'Five I's' for examining microbes.
Hint
The 'Five I's' describe the process of handling and studying microorganisms in a lab, not destroying them.
