The interviewer will likely ask a variety of questions regarding specific experience as well as how well you can explain scientific concepts to others. Following SOPs is a part of the daily routine as a Microbiologist. You may also be tasked with writing one if the lab implements a new procedure and/or updates an existing one. This question is confirming that you either have experience or feel comfortable with such a task.
