Microbes are Everywhere

Microbiology Lab.

Aim of the experiment:
Prove that microbes are everywhere

Materials required:
Agar dishes NA, Petri dish S.D.A.(sucrose dextrose), swabs, cotton bud, labels and marker.

Procedure:
(A) – Isolate microbes from me (bacteria)
1- We marked, divided by 4 and labeled the bottom of our Petri dish.
2- On NA we swabbed areas such as: chicks, rings, underneath of a watch, sink and disinfectant trigger
3-We closed the petri dish, incubated it upside down, on 300C, for 48 hours.

(B)- Isolate microbes from surface (mold and yest)
1- We marked, divided by 4 and labeled the bottom of our Petri dish.
2- On S.D.A we used a wet swab-Dipped into dilhent bottle (contains sterile peptone) and swabbed: tap, handle press clothe, hair, inside of a shoe and glasses.
3- We closed the petri dish quickly, incubated it on 220C, for five days.

Observations:
There was a slightly color difference between the petri dish NA and S.D.A

Results:
NA

S.D.A

With the results we had we could conclude that microbes are everywhere.

Comments: * We exposed the samples to the same condition. However, we couldn’t find a fungi (mold/ yeast) growth on clothe and glasses sample. What we think that it might happened was: (a) – Clothe and glasses sample that we took were too small. (b)- It wasn’t the right food source and conditions for that specific type of microorganism to

    This needed to be done to pertain pure isolation for each of the unknown microorganisms. After both plates were properly inoculated and incubated at 37C for 24- 48 hours, and two separate morphologies were then observed and recorded, unknown A and unknown B, a Gram stain was then performed for each unknown. After determining the Gram reaction, alternate staining procedures were performed as needed. Unknown A required further endospore staining, whereas unknown B required no further staining procedures. Once all staining methods were complete, specific biochemical tests were performed. The biochemical tests were chosen from the unknown identification tables and dichotomous keys that were given in the lab manual. Since unknown A was determined to be a Gram positive rod and an endospore producer, the genus Bacillus was then concluded. Unknown A bacteria was then inoculated into a lactose fermentation broth tube and a mannitol fermentation broth tube for further testing of the species. Note, all of these tests were performed by the methods listed in the lab manual (171-173). All of the following biochemical tests were perform on unknown…

    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com Polyhydroxyalkanoates: bioplastics with a green agenda Tajalli Keshavarz and Ipsita Roy Production of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) has been investigated for more than eighty years but recently a number of factors including increase in the price of crude oil and public awareness of the environmental issues have become a notable driving force for extended research on biopolymers. The versatility of PHAs has made them good candidates for the study of their potential in a variety of areas from biomedical/ medical fields to food, packaging, textile and household material. While production costs are still a drawback to wider usage of these biopolymers, their application as low volume high cost items is becoming a reality. The future trend is to focus on the development of more efficient and economical processes for PHA production, isolation, purification and improvement of PHA material properties.…
