Under static conditions‚ decolourization of remazol red RB dye by bacterial isolates was more efficient than at shaking condition within 24 hours. In static condition transfer of oxygen is limited to the broth surface and the cell cultures will most likely sediment to the bottom of the flasks and become rapidly oxygen -

part of the normal flora of humans‚ finding a suitable niche in virtually every anatomic site. The best known and most widely studied species is Corynebacterium diphtheriae‚ the causal agent of the disease diphtheria. History and Background No bacterial disease of humans has been as successfully studied as diphtheria. The etiology‚ mode of transmission‚ pathogenic mechanism and molecular basis of exotoxin structure‚ function‚ and action have been clearly established. Consequently‚ highly effective

Introduction Bacterial transformation is the permanent alteration of a bacterial cell genotype as a result of its uptake and incorporation of foreign DNA fragments from external medium (Anthony et al‚ 2008). In addition to chromosome‚ bacterial cells often contain extrachromosomal DNA called plasmids which are capable of autonomic replication and antibiotic resistance (Dale & Simon‚ 2010). Plasmids can transport foreign DNA into host or other bacterial cells hence they are known as vectors.

Bacterial counts were also performed on the swab samples taken from the wounds on the first‚ third and fifth day. The results of the bacterial count revealed that there was no significant difference between the Jatropha multifida and Betadine in preventing bacterial growth. Qualitative observations of wound size and healing time showed that Jatropha multifida latex is as effective

The purpose of this lab is to successfully infiltrate E. coli bacterial cells with a pARA-R plasmid that is antibiotic resistant and has the rfp gene‚ or red fluorescent protein. This can be verified if the E. coli obtains the characteristics of the plasmid when it enters. To start‚ three Petri plates containing agar are needed. On each plate there is a control group and a treatment group; the treatment group being the one with the plasmid. Before the plasmid is put with the E. coli‚ first the bacteria

evolution of antibiotic resistant bacteria and the effects it has on our entire biological community. Understanding the difference between viral and bacterial infections is a priority that needs attention-grabbing awareness on preventing the spread of resistant bacteria. Most colds‚ sore throats and ear or sinus infections are viral infections. Bacterial infections include strep throat‚ urinary tract infections and some wound and skin infections. Knowing what causes an illness is important because
