    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.…

    Procedure: After setting up the incubator, I aseptically transferred S. epidermidis and L. acidophilus. to generate liquid broth cultures. After waiting for 24-48 to observe growth, I recorded my observations. Then, I prepared wet mount slides and direct staining slides of both S. epidermidis and L. acidophilus. to observe them microscopically using oil immersion lens. When I was done, I stored them in the refrigerator for future use.…

    Unknown Lab Report

    The purpose of this lab was to identify two unknown bacteria cultures using various differential tests. The identification of these unknown cultures was accomplished by separating and differentiating possible bacteria based on specific biochemical characteristics. Whether the tests performed identified specific enzymatic reactions or metabolic pathways, each was used in a way to help recognize those specifics and identify the unknown cultures. The differential tests used to identify the unknown cultures were oxidase, catalase, lactose and sucrose fermentation, Kugler/iron agar, nitrate reduction, gelatin hydrolysis, starch hydrolysis, manitol salt, MR-VP, citrate, bile esculin, indole, urease, DNase, and coagulase.…

    As for the identification of the unknown Gram-negative bacterium, the unknown bacterium’s ability to ferment lactose was analyzed first. Positive lactose fermentation was indicated on both the MacConkey agar plate and SSA by the growth of bright pink colored colonies (Table 2; Kenyon College, 2011; Lancaster and Bennett, 2012). Identical results were also found in the inoculated lactose broth with the Durham tube and the TSI tests, which both indicated positive fermentation for lactose as well (Lancaster and Bennett, 2012; Watson, 2013;…

    Unknown Bacteria Staining Experiment

    It is known as a “friendly” bacteria and is a very common probiotic that is found naturally in our bodies, mainly in the mouth, intestines, and the vagina. Structure wise Lactobacillus acidophilus is a single-celled prokaryotic microorganism that lacks a distinct nucleus. It also contains a cell wall, a cytoplasmic membrane, a nucleoid, cytoplasm, ribosomes, pili, and flagella. It is rod shaped and measures about 0.5 to 0.8 micrometer across by 2 to 9 mm in length. It occurs in chains and is non spore forming (Sanders 322). Lactobacillus acidophilus has optimal growth at 37-42 degrees…

    Wheat Germ Lab

    Introduction: Chromatin is a complex of DNA and proteins (histones) that make up the contents of the nucleus of a cell. It has 4 main functions: to package DNA into a smaller volume to fit in the cell, to strengthen the DNA to allow for mitosis, to prevent DNA damage, and finally, to control gene expression and DNA replication. The structure of chromatin consists of a series of DNA wrapped around histones to form nucleosomes. But during mitosis the chromatin is compacted to form chromosomes. Each human has 23 pairs of chromosomes consisting of a sugar/phosphate backbone and nitrogenous base. There are 4 nitrogenous bases: Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Thymine. Adenine and Thymine are always paired with each other while Guanine and Cytosine always paired. The other nucleic acid found in the nucleus is RNA. There are 4 major differences between DNA and RNA: DNA is double stranded while RNA is single stranded, RNA has Uracil instead of Thymine, DNA has a double helix structure, and RNA has a ribose for a sugar and DNA has a deoxyribose. In this lab we were focusing on DNA and its extraction from wheat germ. There are two to three basic steps in DNA extraction. The cell must be lysed to release the nucleus. The nucleus then must also be opened to release the DNA. At this point the DNA must be protected from enzymes that will degrade it. Once the DNA is released, it must then be precipitated in alcohol.…

    Bacterial Growth Lab Paper

    Escherichia coli—better known as E. coli—is a gram negative, rod shaped bacteria. It is relatively harmless, but can occasionally cause food poisoning. It can also provide Vitamin K2. It prevents the establishment of pathogenic bacteria, and is associated with or found in the intestinal organ. The antibiotic that E. coli is resistant to is Penicillin. Bacillus subtilis—better known as B. subtilis—is known as the hay bacillus or the grass bacillus. It is gram and catalase positive. It is rod-shaped, with the ability to form a tough, protective, shield around itself. It can tolerate extreme environmental conditions, and is an obligate aerob. The antibiotic that B. subtilis is resistant to is Tetracycline. When a bacteria is resistant to an antibiotic, it means that the antibiotic will have no effect in treating the bacteria. For example, E. coli is resistant to Penicillin, which means that if you were to try and treat E. coli with Penicillin, the treatment would fail and the E. coli bacteria would continue to grow. But, if you were to treat E. coli with Tetracycline, the antibiotic it is NOT resistant to, the E. coli would not be able to put up a fight, and would stop its growth. HA- If we add E. coli and B. subtilis to agar, and add Penicillin and Tetracycline to the agar, then the E. coli will grow more around the Penicillin and the B. subtilis will grow more around the Tetracycline, because E. coli is resistant to Penicillin and B. subtilis is resistant to Tetracycline. HO- If we add E. coli and B. subtilis to agar, and add Penicillin and Tetracycline to the agar, then the E. coli will grow more around the Tetracycline and the B. subtilis will grow more around the Penicillin, because E. coli is resistant to Tetracycline and B. subtilis is resistant to Penicillin.…

    Laccase Case Study

    Despite widespread use of laccases, demand for the laccases were increasing every year and so the gap between production and demand is widening. Keeping in view the industrial importance of laccases, we are more and more focusing on discovering novel substrate to meet out the prevailing demand. Therefore the study was aimed at strain improvement, exploration of two different substrate for solid state fermentation, process optimization for production of laccase and purification. Mostly plants and fungi are important resources for laccase (Thakker et al., 1992). In the last decade, there have been reports stating laccase was found in some bacteria such as S.lavendulae, S.cyaneus,…
