Purpose: To be familiarized with the science and techniques used to identify different types of bacteria based on their DNA sequences.…
4 Tests/ Parameters that are evaluated to classify bacteria are: procedure’s that determine an organism’s ability to ferment carious carbohydrates; utilize various substrates such as specific amino acids, starch, citrate, and gelatin; or produce waste products such as hydrogen sulfide gas and also differences in fatty acid composition of bacteria are also used to distinguish between bacteria.…
include a description of the main types of microorganisms, how they are identified, their growth…
One possible source of contamination may be the produce that is grown and distributed locally at a farmer’s market. A test sample of some of the produce revealed evidence of bacterial contamination. The bacteria sample was tested in a microbiology lab and showed the results that follow. The laboratory also performed a Gram stain of the isolated bacteria and ran a number of biochemical tests to aid identification. The biochemical tests were assayed using the Analytical Profile Index (API) 20E system for identification of Enterobacteriaceae and other gram-negative…
Give examples of bacteria classified as Archeabacteria and Eubacteria. Answer: Archeabacteria: Methanogens – “methane makers”; Extreme halophiles – “salt lovers”; Extreme thermophiles – “heat lovers” Eubacteria: spirochetes; chlamydias; proteobacteria; Gram-positive bacteria; cyanobacteria…

As we know bacteria comes in various classes and are distinguished by their shapes, chemical configuration, source of energy either sunlight or chemicals, nutritional requisites and biochemical actions.…
Bacteria are prokaryotes under the kingdom Monera. This means they have no true nucleus. Most bacteria also lack internal organelles. Most bacteria is beneficiary while a fraction are pathogens. Pathogens cause human and animal disease. However, they can also produce antibiotics. Beneficial bacteria can do various tasks from producing yogurt to decomposing dead organic matter.…
The purpose of this is knowing the types of bacteria that exist in our environment and diseases caused by them, and how treat it.…
Bacteria: Tuberculosis (two organisms called Mycobacterium tuberculosis)MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus)SalmonellaClostridium difficile (pain and diarrhoea)Legionnaires disease (belong to the family Legionellaceae)…
1.1 Bactetria are: Bacteria are organisms made up of just one cell. They are capable of multiplying by themselves, as they have the power to divide into different shapes. Their shapes vary, and that’s how they are used to separate them into groups. Usually a few micrometres in length. Bacteria are present in most surroundings on the planet, growing in soil, acidic hot springs, radioactive waste, water, and deep in the Earth's crust, as well as in organic matter and the live bodies of plants and animals, providing outstanding examples of mutualism in the digestive tracts of humans, termites and cockroaches.…
Stage II: In this stage the acetogenic bacteria consume these primary products and produce hydrogen, carbon dioxide and acetic acid.…
Ahmad Bickley • • • Bacteria can be found in the air, soil, water, on you and inside you. There are mire bacterial cells inside your gut and on your skin than there are cells in your body. The Kingdom Monera is comprised only of bacteria.…
Bacteria are round, rod or spiral shaped microorganisms. Bacteria may grow under a wide variety of conditions. There are many types of bacteria that cause spoilage. They can be divided into: spore-forming and non-spore-forming. Bacteria generally prefer low acid foods like vegetables and meat. In order to destroy bacteria spores in a relatively short period of time, low acid foods must be processed for the appropriate length of time at 116°C (240°F) in a pressure canner. (Temperatures higher than 100°C [212°F] can be obtained only by pressure canning.)…
