between Bacteria‚ Viruses‚ Fungi and Parasites A. Bacteria. A bacterium is a living thing made up of a single cell (unlike fungi that are multi celled). They are not plants or animals. Because they are single celled they very small‚ however they have a fast multiplication rate which leads to normally millions of them together. B. Viruses. Viruses are small (too small to be seen under a light microscope)‚ and infectious‚ they can only replicate inside of living cells of organisms (like bacteria‚ fungi

IDENTIFYING GRAM POSITIVE COCCI As mentioned in Exercise 8‚ “Identifying Gram Negative Rods”‚ identifying bacteria is a common activity in the microbiology lab. Like the game Clue™‚ each time you gather a piece of information to solve the mystery‚ you gather some information that supports some identities and eliminates others from contention. In the lab‚ the process continues as you gather more information until only one microbe remains and all others have been eliminated as possibilities. Thus

BASIC FOOD MICROBIOLOGY 1. Why do we need to identify bacteria in our food? 2. What is microbiology? 3. What is microorganism? Give examples. 4. Bacteria exist in two states. What are they? 5. What are the differences between spore and vegetative cell? 6. Bacteria vary in shape. Name the shape of bacteria that you learn. 7. What are the effects on food caused by spoilage bacteria and pathogenic bacteria? 8. What are the differences between eukaryote and prokaryotes

Purpose: To identify an unknown bacterial specimen using basic laboratory technique and biochemical tests. The unknown bacteria will be one of the following: Enterococcus faecalis‚ Staphylococcus saprophyticus‚ Escherichia coli‚ Enterobacter aerogenes‚ Proteus vulgaris‚ Salmonella [I assume typhimurium]‚ or Shigella [either flexneri or sonnei‚ we used both in our lab during the semester]. Procedure {and observations}: Observe bacterial colony morphology. {Colonies are large‚ beige or

Clostridium Difficile Clostridium difficile also known as C-diff in the medical world or C. difficile in the science world is a bacterium that infects the colon of humans. C-diff belongs to the bacteria Domain. Bacteria are unicellular organisms that contain Peptidoglycan in their cell walls. C-diff is a member of the phylum Firmicutes which means it has a Gram-positive stain and a low guanine and cytosine content. C-diff is also classified as a clostridia meaning it has a lack of aerobic respiration

graph must be constructed for each different environment‚ and the generation time of the bacteria in each environment must be calculated. The optimal environment for V. natriegens was found to be the BHI with 250 mM of NaCl. Introduction: The type environment that bacteria live in is essential to their growth. In order to establish what environment for V. natriegens is optimal‚ the generation time of the bacteria under several different environments‚ must be obtained. The type of system used for this

Ahmad Bickley • • • Bacteria can be found in the air‚ soil‚ water‚ on you and inside you. There are mire bacterial cells inside your gut and on your skin than there are cells in your body. The Kingdom Monera is comprised only of bacteria. KINGDOM MONERA • • • • • There are many different kinds of bacteria‚ but all of them belong to the kingdom Monera. A thousand bacteria can sit side by side in just 1 tiny millimeter. Despite their small size‚ bacteria are the most abundant of any organisms

Most of their food drifts down from the surface‚ such as the dead algae that eventually sink.” This article was important to me because it saying that there are a number of bacteria found in the call home that biologists are still studying today. They predict that there might have living organisms on mars or on one of Jupiter’s moon. They stated that if there is it won’t walk on two legs or be able to talk. Living long beneath
