Friends, I am working to create awareness among public about the impact of unhygienic street food on health by using Foldscope.
Major source of contribution to microbial contamination is the place of preparation and sale of food and we all can see that many street food stalls are present beside the road and open drainage canals, so want to observe the drainage water samples under foldscope.
To my surprise, it revealed a different microbial world. I could able to observe many moving cocci, Spiral, bacillus and long thread like structures, assumed as filamentous bacteria. Please give your opinion on these microorganisms in the videos and images.
