Eric Santana Controlling Chaos There is a common understanding that growth in any aspect of the economy is a grand concept. However‚ when growth begins to start spreading out in such a manner that it becomes uncontrollable‚ there is an inherent issue. Such is the case in David Carle’s essay “Sprawling Gridlock”. Carle mentions several pervading issues and problems with the rapid growth and spread of Southern California‚ and outlines measures taken against the expansion. Carle’s resolve and purpose

LABORATORY EXERCISE 8-A: Preparation of Bacterial Smear and Simple Staining I. INTRODUCTION Bacterial smears are prepared for the purpose of viewing microorganisms under the microscope. Visualization of microorganisms in the living state is very difficult‚ not just because they are minute‚ but because they are transparent and almost colorless when suspended in an aqueous medium. A bacterial smear is a dried preparation of bacterial cells on a glass slide. Smears may be made from a dry culture

Practical 9: Examination of Bacterial Plates Objective: 1. To examine bacteria pigmentation‚ colony‚ margin characteristics‚ elevation properties‚ broth characteristics and agar stroke properties. 2. To examine bacteria growth characteristics on different culture media. Introduction: Bacterial species can sometimes be identified on the basis of how they appear on or in the different media. The pigmentation‚ size and shape of bacterial colonies as they grow on and in agar plates can

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

What are bacteria? Bacteria are tiny little organisms that are everywhere around us. We can’t see them without a microscope because they are so small‚ but they are in the air‚ on our skin‚ in our bodies‚ in the ground‚ and all throughout nature. Bacteria are single-celled microorganisms. Their cell structure is unique in that they don’t have a nucleus and most bacteria have cell walls similar to plant cells. They come in all sorts of shapes including rods‚ spirals‚ and spheres. Some bacteria

Controlling Idea Relationships do not always run smoothly. In passage I‚ Ezra is having a tough time dealing with his business partner‚ Mrs. Scarlatti‚ being sick in the hospital. Ezra had a good connection with Mrs. Scarlatti; he saw her as his second mother. Sadly‚ Mrs. Scarlatti had a harsh life. Her husband was cruel to her and lost her only son. Ezra was the only person in Mrs. Scarlatti’s life. She called Ezra her boy and her angel. Ezra symbolically communicates his love for Mrs. Scarlatti

Bacterial vaginosis‚ or simply BV‚ is a prevailing vaginal infection in women. BV is an illness that outcomes in vaginal discharge and are a consequence of overgrowth of usual bacteria in the vagina. There are numerous kinds of bacteria that live naturally in the vaginal region. The vaginal discharge results when numbers of various species of bacteria grow large such that their numbers exceed the natural balance (Bacterial Vaginosis Researchomatic). The reasons for the specific vaginal bacterial

Microbial metabolism is the means by which a microbe obtains the energy and nutrients (e.g. carbon) it needs to live and reproduce. Microbes use many different types of metabolic strategies and species can often be differentiated from each other based on metabolic characteristics. The specific metabolic properties of a microbe are the major factors in determining that microbe’s ecological niche‚ and often allow for that microbe to be useful in industrial processes or responsible for biogeochemical
