Bacterial Transformation Lab Introduction: In this experiment we transformed a strain of E. Coli bacteria without antibiotic resistance with plasmid DNA. This plasmid produces a fluorescent green glow under black light due to the gfp(green fluorescent protein) as well as antibiotic resistance. E. Coli cells will be plated on an agar medium‚ some with and some without the antibiotic ampicillin. Only bacterial cells that contain the plasmid will survive the ampicillin and produce the green glow

pelvic and bimanual exam was performed. Swabs of the vaginal area were collected and placed under the microscope. The results were concurrent with the suspected diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis. The physician explained the results of the swab samples and offered the patient different treatment options. Pathophysiology Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) is common infection of the vagina that causes discharge and odor due to the changing environment. The vaginal discharge is “characteristically described as a

such as Vibrio natriegens‚ who are curved-rod shaped microorganisms‚ they elongate to almost twice their own size and form a dividing wall in which splits the single cell into two daughter cells (Madigan et al.‚ 2015). There are four phases to bacterial cell growth: the lag phase‚ which is a period where bacteria are maturing and adjusting to the environment. During this phase‚ RNA synthesis‚ production of ribosomes‚ enzymes and other molecules occur (Mullenger‚ 1973). This is followed by the exponential

Abstract:Conjugation is a natural occurring process that involves the transfer of DNA from one cell into another through a physical connection between the cells. In the following experiment‚ two strains of Escherichia coli bacterial cells (donor F’lac+strs and recipient F-lac-strr) underwent conjugation to produce a transconjugant strain (F’lac+strr). MAC plates and streptomycin were utilized to determine if conjugation had occurred. When plated‚ the donor colonies appeared red and the recipient

Unit 3. Assignment 1: Bacterial Growth Rates 1. Mediums that could be used to determine shigellosis include Btilliant Green Agar‚ and Triple Sugar-Iron Agar. Expected results in a confirmed case of shigellosis are as follows: Brilliant Green Agar – Isolated Shigella colonies which do not ferment lactose or sucrose and appear red or white in color with no growth to trace growth on the Agar plate will be present. Triple Sugar-Iron Agar – Presence of Shigella will manifest as a red slant with

Bacterial Growth Requirements Evelyn Lyle ITT Technical Institute Angela Ask‚ MPS January 15‚ 2012 Every organism must find in its environment all of the substances required for energy generation and cellular biosynthesis. The chemicals and elements of this environment that are 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

Amber McMillian May 26‚ 2009 Bacterial Vaginosis This is a vagina condition also referred to as Gardnerella Vaginitis that can produce vaginal discharge that is a result from an overgrowth of normal bacteria. This will cause a woman to have a vaginal discharge with a foul odor. It is not dangerous but it can cause bad symptoms. If any woman has this problem they should also be checked for more serious infections such as Chlamydia and Gonorrhea. The normal symptoms are excessive vagina discharge
