carry out measurement of each type of germ activity


Explanation:
行い can sometimes be omitted, but I like to keep as much of the original text as I can if it makes sense. I usually translate it as "carry out", or "do" or whatever is appropriate to the text.
I would translate 各種 as "each type/kind".
Good luck!

  -> Thank you Timothy.

agree  Steven Smith: 'Different' or 'various' might be more accurate than 'each', since as with the other items (observation methods, culture mediums) 'each' might imply an exhaustive list.

  -> Great suggestion. If a pre-determined list does not exist, I think different or various would be perfect. Thank you, Steven.
