Pure Culture Techniques In this first lab‚ you will be learning some very fundamental and important techniques. As is the case with most things‚ shorts cuts usually get you in trouble. This is especially true in Microbiology. The techniques you will be learning tonight‚ if mastered correctly‚ will make your life and learning experience in Microbiology much easier‚ if you don’t pay attention and practice these techniques incorrectly‚ well then……? Today you will be learning the following techniques:

"Black Death" in Medieval times. This is because the dried blood under the skin turns black. What is/are the causative agent(s)? Bubonic plague is caused by the bacterium‚ Yersinia pestis. It is also known as Pasteurella pestis. Other Pasteurella bacillus cause diseases such as tuberculosis. How is the disease transmitted? Plague is caused by an infection with Yersian pestis‚ which is a bacterium carried by rodents and transmitted by fleas found in parts of Asia‚ Africa‚ and North and South America

Louis Pasteur And The Alcoholic Fermentation Abstract: Louis Pasteur (1822-1895) was a French chemist and microbiologist known for his discoveries in the field of vaccination‚ pasteurization and microbial fermentation. His discoveries have saved many lives and his contributions to science‚ technology‚ and medicine are nearly without precedent. This paper will focus on one of the aspect of his work that relates mostly to chemistry: the alcoholic fermentation. Louis Pasteur:

Jaime Vonk Med. Careers PCT 1 October 14‚ 2012 Clostridium Difficile Clostridium difficile is a gram positive‚ spore forming anaerobic bacillus‚ which may or may not carry the genes for toxin A-B production. These two types of protein exotoxins produced by the Clostridium difficile bacillus‚ toxin A and toxin B‚ can have an infectious form and a non-active‚ non-infectious form. The disease spreads throughThe spores can survive for a longer period of time in the environment and are not infectious

plant will gain drought tolerance as well. Not only can genes be transferred from one plant to another‚ but genes from non-plant organisms also can be used. The best known example of this is the use of B.t. genes in corn and other crops. B.t.‚ or Bacillus thuringiensis‚ is a naturally occurring bacterium that produces crystal proteins that are lethal to insect larvae. B.t. crystal protein genes have been transferred into corn‚ enabling the corn to produce its own pesticides against insects such as

Advancements in Medicine in 19th Century England A robot saved my life! While this may not necessarily be true‚ the revolutionary technological aspects of medical advancements in the 1800s were just as crazy to people who lived there and saved their lives. While the common cold is a prevalent illness among us now and has treatment‚ in the 1800s common illnesses like this caused death. During this time there were many medical advancements that took place. From advancements in the knowledge of diseases
