To grow the bacterial culture, use 10 ml of liquid LB growth media for incubation. 500 ml of the bacterial culture is allowed to grow overnight at 37°C. It is later shaken vigorously to increase the OD600 to 0.5, which means that time equals zero. At time zero, 1 mL of the culture is transferred into a 1.5 mL centrifuge tube and centrifuged for 5-10 minutes to obtain a pellet. The supernatant should be discarded. The centrifuge with the bacterial pellet is labeled “G0” and stored at -20°C. The culture is induced with 1 Mm of IPTG and allowed to keep growing. After 3 hours past induction, 1 mL of the culture is pelleted into a different 1.5 mL centrifuge tube, and the bacterial pellet is labeled “G3.” The centrifuge with G0 bacterial strain needs 15 mL of the strain to be collected and to be pelleted into the centrifuge tube. The last pellet is labeled “G3-15 mL.” Finally, both the G3 and G3-15 mL are to be stored at -20°C.…
The second step is to select the appropriate medium for the specified microbe. In this experiment we will use a liquid broth medium for both cultures. The first is MRS culture medium, which contains polysorbate, acetate, magnesium and manganese to promote growth for lactobacilli. The second is nutrient medium, which is the standard growth medium for most microbes. It contains heat stable digestive products of proteins called peptones and beef broth to promote bacterial growth.…

Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to Learn and employ aseptic technique, to become familiar with basic requirements of microbial growth, to learn the basic forms of culture media, and to become familiar with methods used to control microbial growth.…
This experiment is aimed to examine the effects of environment such as Oxygen, Temperature, pH and Osmotic Limitations on the growth of a various kind of bacteria.…
incubate a TSB broth for gram-‐negative growth. Similarly, examining the morphology of the bacteria-‐using gram staining technique tested the purity of the both. After the isolation of gram-‐positive and gram-‐negative bacteria from unknown A, specific biochemical tests…
Purpose: Is to gain knowledge on how to use a microscope and oil immersion lens while observing prepared bacterial slides and also to prepare slides for observable bacteria culture from yogart.…
The media was inoculated with a single stab to the center of the tube and incubated. After incubation, the growth was restricted to the stab line, the bacteria is nonmotile.…
Based upon your results, is your bacteria sample a strict aerobe, strict anaerobe, facultative anaerobe, or microaerophile?…
The possible identity of the unknown organisms in the mixed culture was limited to bacteria that we had worked with previously in lab. Initially a Gram stain was conducted in order to distinguish the unknown bacterium as a Gram-positive and/or a Gram-negative organism (Lancaster and Bennett, 2012; Kellenberger, 2001). Based upon the results, both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria were observed in the unknown mixed culture (Table 1 and Table 2; Kellenberger, 2001). In order to isolate the two different bacteria, colonies that grew on the MSA were used to inoculate Gram-positive tests, where as MacConkey Agar colonies were used to inoculate Gram-negative tests.…

Hemmingway’s short story “A Clean, Well-Lighted Place” begins with an old man drinking brandy in a Spanish café late at night, into the early hours of the morning. A young waiter is upset, wishing that the old man would leave so that he and the older waiter could close the café and go home. However, the older waiter realizes that the old man must be lonely, especially since he had attempted to hang himself the week before. When the old man finally leaves the waiters close the café, with the younger waiter going home to his family and the older waiter wandering the streets to find his own clean, well-lit place.…
This means that the medicine has several layers of coating that vary on each individual pellet inside the capsule. This way when you take the medicine the effect of the drug will be absorbed over a period of time instead of just one. By doing this the action of the drug is released into the bloodstream over an extended amount of time.…
The Constitution was written during the constitutional convention which convened from May 25 to September 17, 1787 when it was signed. The Constitution has been the United States plan for government for 230 years now. The Constitution is a strong government and has lasted this long, it protects our rights, protects us from persecution and gives us freedom. The U.S Constitution Protects our basic natural rights.…
DISCUSSIONIn the first part of the lab, since the effect of moist heat treatment on bacterial spores wasbeing investigated, the spores from Bacillus stearothermophilus was used. Using the three testtubes with spores, the first one (1) was autoclaved, the second (2) was boiled, and third (3)received no treatment. The fourth test tube (4) didn’t have a spore strip and served as a controlfor the effectiveness of the aseptic pipetting technique. As hypothesized, test tubes 1 and 4experienced no bacterial growth. Because tube 4 had no spore strips, it was predicted that nobacterial growth will be observed; had there been a presence of bacteria, it would mean that therewas some contamination during the pipetting process. It can consequently be said…
