Growth of Microbes



                     Dina found fungi growing on the guavas she bought a week ago.

                                                                             Fruits become rotten
                                                                             because of the actions
                                                   Oh, no! It’s spoilt.
                                                   How can fruits            of microorganisms.
                                                   become rotten?
                                                                              Let’s conduct an experiment to
                                                                              investigate the factors which
                                                                              cause guavas to rot.










                       Experiment  Factors that Affect the Growth of Microorganisms

                        These guavas are rotten because
                        of the actions of microorganisms.      I think microorganisms need
                        What are the factors that affect       water, air, nutrients, suitable
                        the growth of microorganisms on        temperature, and suitable
                        these guavas?
                                                               acidity to grow.
