The Results from the Gram positive tests indicated that the unknown #4 was Streptococcus pyogenes. All seven tests on the unknown matched S. pyogenes perfectly. The blood agar plate proved the unknown to be β hemolytic‚ meaning the unknown bacteria was capable of complete hemolysis. This test separated the unknown into the β Streptococcus group‚ narrowing the possible bacteria to S. aureus or S. pyogenes. The Catalase test was used to determine if the unknown could break down hydrogen peroxide

can be produced in a lab by feeding bacteria a diet rich in nutrients until large colonies form and then withdrawing glucose. The bacteria immediately start secreting PHB‚ which provides them with an energy store. In the 1980‚ the three genes in Alcaligenes eutrophus needed for the production of PHB were successfully cloned and transferred into a common bacteria‚ E.coli because it reproduced quickly and has an easily manipulated physiology. The PHB gene is transported into corn and maize plants‚ which

Biopolymers Biopolymers are polymers that those that are made from living things and can be broken down by micro-organisms when released into the environment. Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a polyhydroxyalkanoate produced by a microorganism called Alcaligenes Eutrophs. The bacterial culture is given abundant nutrient for rapid replication. Nutrient supply is then drastically reduced and the bacteria converts the available food into energy storage. This is produced in the form of PHB. PHB is then harvested

we continue to use petroleum to make polymers for plastic etc‚ we will eventually run out therefore Biopol has been introduced as a replacement polymer for petroleum. Biopol is made from a biological substance which is a microorganism known as Alcaligenes eutrophus. Properties; Biopol is stable when stored in air and even in humid conditions. The decomposition into carbon dioxide and water will only occur when they expose the polymer to microorganisms found in soil‚ sewage‚ river bottoms and

There are several different medical reasons for identifying microorganisms. The reasons may vary from having to know the causative agent of a disease in a patient to be able to treat and care for them properly‚ to knowing the correct microorganism to be used for making certain antibiotics as well as proper dosages‚ down to knowing all microbes associated with consumed foods such as plants and animals in case of an allergen or a contamination outbreak. This analysis was done by utilizing all of

Your answer for each question should be a minimum of 150 words (half page). Cite your sources after each question. 1. In 1835‚ Bassi showed that a fungus caused a silkworm disease‚ and in 1865 Pasteur discovered that a protozoan caused another silkworm disease. Why do we use Koch’s postulates instead of Bassi’s or Pasteur’s postulates? Koch was the first scientist to prove that bacteria actually cause disease. He scientifically demonstrated that a disease is caused by a particular organism

They don’t damage their range-land. Dr. Gilmore along with B.
