Schoolchildren Attend a Master Class in Microscopy and Biotesting at ASU

Classes were held at the Department of Biotechnology, Zoology & Aquaculture of Astrakhan State University for schoolchildren of secondary educational institutions within the framework of the international scientific and applied conference “Current Issues of Biodiversity and Biotechnology”.

The master class, which was attended by more than 40 children from 13 schools of Astrakhan Region, was conducted by Associate Professor Lilit Grigoryan.

During the lesson, students acquired practical knowledge on making microbiological preparations, culture media, growing cultures of microorganisms, and even on biotesting. In addition, they gained skills in working with a microscope, got acquainted with the basic concepts of microbiology and studied the structure and properties of microorganisms.
