utilized for bacterial growth are referred to as nutrients. Many bacteria can be identified in the environment by inspection or using genetic techniques. The nutritional requirements of a bacterium such as E Coli are revealed by the cell’s elemental composition. These elements are found in the form of water‚ inorganic ions‚ small molecules and macromolecules which serve either a structural or functional role in the cells. Bacteria thrive by four things oxygen‚ food (nutrients)‚ warmth and time

overgrowth of normal bacteria in the vagina. In the past‚ the condition was called Gardnerella vaginitis‚ after the bacteria that was believed to have caused the condition. However‚ the newer name‚ Bacterial Vaginosis‚ reflects the fact that there are a number of species of bacteria that naturally live in the vaginal area and may grow to exceed it’s natural balance. The Gardnerella organism was found not to be the sole culprit causing the symptoms. When these multiple species of bacteria become imbalanced

Unknown Lab Report April 25th‚ 2006 Introduction 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

Introduction The experiment conducted was based upon the known attributes of two different groups of bacteria‚ those that are gram positive‚ and those that are gram negative. Using a specific staining procedure‚ it is possible to differentiate the two types under a microscope The gram stain method of differentiation is possible because of differences in the cell membrane between the two categories of bacteria. Gram positive cells have an extra thick layer that is made of highly-crosslinked peptidoglycans

of microbes. The outcome of the search was a new kind of medicine which is known as antibiotics. Antibiotics is a variety of substances that control the growth or kill bacteria. Since bacteria is evolving rapidly and resisting antibiotics due to the overuse of the medicine‚ reducing the need and use would help slow down the bacteria from evolving. There are many things that can be done to help slow down the resistance of antibiotics. If the trend of this resistance keeps growing antibiotics wont be

to classify bacteria through their chemical nature as well as the physical structure of their cell walls. Through this experiment one would be able to observe either a thick or thin layer of peptidoglycan by the appearance of the bacteria staining either gram-positive blue-purple or gram-negative pink. Question: Is there a subsequent effect of the bacteria when decolorizing with alcohol? Hypothesis: If there is either a removal of the outer cell membrane or dehydration of the bacteria then there

government who will keep our water unpolluted and free of bacteria and other germs?Do people need government? By: Arianna McCoy In my view people do need government because the government does a lot of things they don’t get recognition for. For example‚ they keep our water fresh. The government makes large investments to keep our drinking water safe. Without the government who will keep our water unpolluted and free of bacteria and other germs?Do people need government?
