Introduction: Microbiology is the study of the microbial world, which is composed of microorganisms that are too tiny to be seen with a naked eye. This project demonstrates the significance of correctly identifying unknown organisms with methods and techniques acquired in the laboratory as they can make or break one's ability to accurately isolate and identify various species. Studying microbes enables oneself to have an insight on not just their structure or how they function, but how they have an impact on organisms and their environment around them as they can be found nearly anywhere. The importance of the process of identifying unknown bacteria vary from determining the causative agent of a disease, to testing if a specific food or fluid is safe to consume, and simply knowing what is present

Being able to identify unknown microbes from systematic testing is what makes the field of microbiology so important, especially in infectious disease control. Using the testing procedure laid out by the microbiology field we are able to identify unknown bacteria present in our everyday lives, and along the way learn a lot about their characteristics that separate them from other types of bacteria. Being able to do this is vital in order for us to understand why microbes are present in certain places, how they are able to grow and what restricts their growth, that way they can be combatted if necessary. These techniques for determining unknowns are also important for isolating and testing infectious disease microbes in order to prevent spreading. Another important aspect of being able to identify unknown microbes is the
