 What is Wenogradsky column ?

 The wenogradsky column is a

simple device for culturing a large
diversity of microorganisms .
 It is invented by Sergei
Winogradsky in the 1880’s.
Why we need to make this column ?
 We made the simple model of
wenogredsky column to
understand the relationship
among microbes .
 How they live and work
together ?
 Do they help each other ?
 Do they compete with each
other?
 Our findings-
 In our model we find that ‘Microbes live and work together , they arrange and
fit into different niches within the column according to their needs. Example –
some microbes produce oxygen and some microbes need it.
 The occurrence of different types of microbes in the column proves that
microbes help each other in surviving . example – some microbes live in aerobic
condition while some in anaerobic conditions.
 So we can conclude that microbes help each other so that they all can survive.
