Background: In Jane Horack’s article “Staphylococcus epidermidis”‚ S. epidermidis is described as “gram-positive cocci bacteria that are part of the normal flora on the skin and nasal passages.” The article goes on to say that the species was originally named Staphylococcus Albus by microbiologist Rosenback in 1884. When viewed under a microscope S. epidermidis will appear in chains‚ pairs‚ or grape-like clusters (Horak 1). Taxonomically‚ the species S. epidermidis falls in the genus Staphylococcus

water because without anything to help it‚ water cannot do anything. For example‚ if you wash your hands and you do not use any soap‚ none of the germs on your hand will be cleaned. Materials: The materials we used in this lab were a petri dish with agar‚ forceps‚ water‚ alcohol‚ hydrogen peroxide‚ antibacterial soap‚ filter paper disc‚ tape‚ and a permanent marker. Procedure: We started this lab on May 12‚ 2014. Using a permanent marker on the bottom of the dish‚ we divided it into 4 sections.

Absract The aim of the prac was to identify and isolate Staphylococcus aureus and Eschericia coli in milk and salmonella in poultry.It was to investigate bacteriological quality of milk and poultry. Salmonella is areprobably the most important cause of food borne illness globally.Staphylocooccus aureus all cause food borne diseases if consumed in a contaminated milk. For milk a spread plate method was used and for poultry a streak method was applied using different Medias. All food contain a certain

aureus. Introduction: The purpose of this lab was to determine the identity of an unknown bacteria slant culture using a series of differential tests. The tests used to identify the unknown bacterial culture included: Gram stain‚ mannitol salt agar‚ coagulase tube test‚ and an antimicrobial susceptibility test. The tests selected were based on the results of a gram stain. Gram staining‚ the most commonly used differential stain‚ allows for the fast and easy detection between gram negative and

performing these tests was to distinguish six different microbes from one another and to compare how their metabolic and biochemical processes differ from species to species to determine the unknown sample. The tests included: Triple sugar iron agar (TSAI)‚ the Sulfide Indole Mobility (SIM) test‚ Glucose fermentation‚ the Methyl Red test‚ the Voges-Proskauer test‚ Citrate test‚ the Urease Test‚ and finally the Gelatin test. The microbes that were tested during this lab were: Escherichia coli

moved from one organism to another with the use of pGlo plasmids. It was hypothesized that if bacteria that were transformed with +pGlo plasmids are given the gene for GFP‚ then transformed cell colonies will be located on the LB/amp/ara and LB/amp agar plates. Cells that have been transformed with +pGlo plasmids have the ability to grow in ampicillin plates‚ and the arabinose sugar allows the colonies to be visibly fluorescent under ultraviolet light. The GFP is able to resist ampicillin because

Abstract Neste estudo vamos procurar avaliar quais são as motivações que levam as pessoas a fazer Erasmus e a não fazer e qual o impacto dessa mesma experiência ou a falta dela posteriormente nas suas carreiras profissionais. Vamos analisar a opinião das pessoas acerca do programa‚ saber quais os pontos fortes e pontos fracos‚ saber se utilizam as competências que adquiriram no seu trabalho actual‚ avaliar em que grau estas se diferenciam no seu local de trabalho das pessoas sem Erasmus e perceber

3. With a pipet‚ inoculate the agar dish labeled water with the water sample. Use only enough water to cover the top surface of the dish (approximately 4 drops). 4. Cover the dish and let it sit for 30 minutes to ensure the water soaks into the agar. 5. Incubate the dish upside down at room temperature for 24–72 hours. 6. Observe the dish and count the number and types of colonies. Record the results in Data Table 1: Environmental Colony Formation‚ in the Lab Report Assistant section. 7. Soak

Teeter Foaming Hand Soap is more effective in reducing bacterial growth than the Soft Soap hand soap‚ then there will be less bacterial/microorganism growth present on the agar plate for the Harris Teeter Foaming hand soap. II. Materials and Methods c. Obtain 3 agar plates and 2 different brands of hand soap. Label each agar plate and draw a line to separate each plate into 2 sections (control and experimental). d. Touch control side of each plate with hands rinsed only with water
