Water Microbiology INTRODUCTION There are 4 learning goals for this lab: 1. Collect samples and compile data from at least 2 sources (soil; water) of your choice. 2. Identify at least 2 Prokaryotes (bacteria) and 2 Eukaryotes (fungus) in your samples. 3. Research the importance of bacteria and fungus to Earth in a non-medical context. 4. Compile a high-quality‚ 3+ resource (excluding the lab worksheet)‚ MLA-cited in-text laboratory report using the scientific method by class due date. HYPOTHESIS

four time‚ propose is to isolate the unknown bacteria. Therefore‚ the first time to streak on the plate‚ there are million of bacteria on the loop. For that reason‚ we need to sterilize the loop before next streaking. Then we can get small group of colonies out from the large group of colonies to observe and distinguish the unknown bacteria. 2. Define pure culture‚ a mixed culture? Ans: Pure culture is mean that only contain single species bacteria in the culture. If we plate out it onto the

Hand Soap Effectiveness on Escherichia Coli Abstract: Bacteria are an essential part of many different living organisms and ecosystems across the globe. Without bacteria there would have never had been life in the first place. But some bacteria have evolved to cause to humans‚ resulting in the need to eliminate them through such methods as soap. Hand soap is a crucial part of human health‚ especially in such places as schools and hospitals. In this experiment I wanted to determine the effectiveness

altered bowel movement following an increased water content‚ volume and/or frequency of stools. Infectious diarrhoea is usually linked to vomiting‚ nausea or abdominal cramps. When foreign bacteria‚ viruses or parasites enter the body‚ they cause infectious diarrhoea. Bacterial infections are caused by consuming bacteria‚ such as‚ Shigella‚ Salmonella‚ Escheria coli (E.coli) and Camylobacter via contaminated food or water. Many viruses such as rotavirus‚ norovirus and viral hepatitis can cause diarrhoea

Eyes How do bacteria cause disease? • Bacteria cause disease by producing harmful chemicals‚ which are toxins of enzymes. These toxins kill or damage body cells. The damage to the body cells causes the symptoms of the disease. How does the structure of bacterial cells differ from that of human cells? • Bacterial cells have a slightly different structure than that of human cells. These structural differences are important because they allow antibiotics to kill bacteria without killing

DEBATE: New Strains of Drug-Resistant Bacteria In 1969 when Dr. William H. Stewart claimed that the war against pestilence was won‚ he had no idea how wrong his statement was. Were he able to see what the future of antibiotics held‚ he would never have said‚ “It is time to close the book on infectious diseases‚ and declare the war against pestilence won”. He was completely oblivious to important aspects of antibiotics including their ineffectiveness on viruses and the potential harm that

that it will distort the bacterial cells; then pick up a pinhead size sample of the bacterial growth without digging into the agar.

leading cause of an infection. The microbes are to stop with the growth and more reproduction of the organisms such like bacteria‚ fungus‚ viruses‚ and parasites. 2. Do all bacteria respond the same to a given antimicrobial? Explain your answer a. They don’t‚ they have an antibiotic resistant. Antibiotics are there to kill and stop the growth of bacteria cells. The bacteria respond differently to the microbe. It can change its morphology‚ molecular components‚ gene expression‚

CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Food is one of human sources of calorie‚ protein‚ fats‚ and nutrition. Yet‚ because of the highly nutritious content‚ food is susceptible to growth of microorganisms. By the presence of microorganisms in food‚ the food is more likely to have shorter shelf life. Thus‚ mostly it is resolved by the addition of antimicrobial substances to food‚ such as condiments and preservatives. Condiments and preservatives could inhibit the growth of microorganisms

genetic transformation that was used in lab and mainly used due to the single celled nature of bacteria. In this lab‚ the engineered pGLO plasmid is integrated into E. Coli bacteria‚ and adds the genes which code for the proteins GFP in the modified bacteria’s genome (Hanahan‚ Studies on transformation of Escherichia coli with plasmids‚ 1983). To see the reaction of this plasmid on the cells‚ bacteria treated with the plasmid were grown on two separate agar plates containing LB nutrient broth and
