At the beginning of the semester‚ samples of bacteria were obtained from various sources. Two bacterial colonies were isolated from plates that were incubated in the lab and these bacteria became the basis for this project. The bacterial cultures were maintained and used for various physiological‚ cultural‚ and biochemical tests and observations over several weeks. The purpose of culturing bacteria over half the course of the semester was to learn various techniques used in microbiology labs and

process in which a bacterial cell takes up extracellular DNA. This can be especially useful for bacteria in order to acquire certain traits such as: antibiotic resistance‚ synthesis of catabolites‚ or any other trait that would help improve its survival. However‚ not all bacterial cells are naturally competent (able to naturally take up extracellular DNA). There are several techniques that can make cells artificially competent‚ some of which will be discussed later. Bacterial transformation was

Enumeration of Bacterial Contamination in Hamburger Meat from Unknown Sources C March 6‚ 2012 The importance of bacterial enumeration has become even more apparent in recent years due to the increasing numbers of harmful bacteria found in meat products. This process is the key to understanding the populations of microorganisms that contaminate the food supply. Much of the bacteria in meat has been shown to be resistant to multiple drugs; so disease-causing microbes

Or Microalgae: advantages and disadvantages The microalgae culture have the infinite potential to be used as primary producers of biomass in coming years‚ eventually they will turn out to be as most significant energy source. They can act as feedstock for several types of renewable fuels such as ethanol‚ methanol‚ biodiesel‚ methane and hydrogen.

Cell size is limited by the efficiency of diffusion across the plasma membrane. A typical eukaryotic cell is 10 to 100 micrometers in diameter opposed to prokaryotic cells are 1 to 10 micrometers in diameter. Bacterial and Eukaryotic cells display different cell organization in their size and structure
