    The Effects of Antibiotics on Bacterial Growth Biology II 1996 Bacteria are the most common and ancient microorganisms on earth. Most bacteria are microscopic‚ measuring 1 micron in length. However‚ colonies of bacteria grown in a laboratory petri dish can be seen with the unaided eye. There are many divisions and classifications of bacteria that assist in identifying them. The first two types of bacteria are archaebacteria and eubacteria. Both groups have common ancestors dating to more

    Bacterial are very diverse and quite adaptable‚ but they still need certain factors in order to thrive. The physical requirements for bacterial growth include pH range‚ temperature‚ oxygen concentrations‚ moisture levels‚ hydrostatic pressure‚ osmotic pressure‚ and radiation levels. When considering the pH level‚ bacteria are classified as either acidophiles (acid-loving)‚ neutrophiles (neutral ph range)‚ or alkaliphiles (alkali-loving). The one that causes disease in humans would be the neutrophiles

    MICROBIOLOGY COURSEWORK The effect of antibiotic concentration on bacterial growth Introduction Null Hypothesis- Increasing the antibiotic concentration has no effect on bacterial growth. Experimental Hypothesis- Increasing the antibiotic concentration decreases bacterial growth. Scientific Theory Bacteria are prokaryotes and can be identified by their shape. Spherical bacteria are called cocci‚ rod shaped bacteria are called bacilli‚ spiral shaped bacteria are called spirilla and

    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

    Title: Chapter 7: Bacterial Growth Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to observe the bacterial growth of Escherichia coli under various conditions. Physical factors and nutritional requirements determine the overall concentration of the bacteria. Along with the use of a spectrophotometer and the technique of serial dilution‚ countable colonies can be obtained. Results are plotted on a semi-log graph in order to observe the different growth curves corresponding to optical density (cell

    The effect of salt concentration on grass growth Abstract Our aim was to test the effect of different salinities on the growth of plants which what we did was measured different amounts of salt dissolved into 2 litres of water‚ watered the plant once with the salt water then for 9 days with pure ware. I found with my investigation that the less the salt‚ the more the growth of the plant. My aim was achieved by measuring the 5 fastest geminating (out of 20) and to measure the differences in growth

    Bacterial growth patterns and the effects of environmental factors on properties of colonies ERIC LI Abstract In this experiment we work with different types of bacteria and experiment with their different properties and how they grow in certain situations. Different samples of bacteria cultures were gathered from different places such as the mouth‚ shaded mulch‚ and from the table top. The samples were collected by using a cotton swab and swiped onto a petri dish filled with nutrient agar. The

    Modeling bacterial growth is important in maximizing the efficiencies of biological processes. Although there are many different methods of modeling bacterial growth‚ this experiment focuses on the Monod equations. However‚ in order to use the Monod equations‚ the maximum growth rate and Monod constant must be found. Here we show how the maximum growth rate and Monod constants can be obtained for Escherichia coli using M9 media in a bioreactor at 37 °C and 500 RPM. The maximum growth rate is also

    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 is the division of one bacterium into two daughter cells in a process called binary fission. Providing no mutational event occurs the resulting daughter cells are genetically identical to the original cell. Hence‚ "local doubling" of the bacterial population occurs. Both daughter cells from the division do not necessarily survive. However‚ if the number surviving exceeds unity on average‚ the bacterial population undergoes exponential growth. The measurement of an exponential bacterial
