INTRODUCTION Total Viable Count is a quantitative idea about the presence of microorganisms such as bacteria‚ yeast and mold in a sample. It counts the number of colonies produced by a very dilute suspension of bacteria on an agar plate and to observe the differential staining behaviour of the living bacteria. This involves counting the colonies produced by viable cells under favourable growth conditions. Some techniques needed before the viable count‚ like pour plate method‚ spread plate method

MICROBIOLOGY STUDY QUESTI0NS - EXAM 1 1. Briefly discuss the theory of spontaneous generation. What scientific evidence was presented to disprove the theory? Spontaneous generation- theory (until second half of 19th century) that some forms of life can arise spontaneously from nonliving matter‚ i.e. maggots from corpses Redi (1668)- demonstrated maggots do not arise from decaying meat by filling two jars with decaying meat (one sealed‚ one unsealed). Unsealed jar developed larvae and sealed did

I. INTRODUCTION Independent Study Questions 1.) What is the fundamental difference between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells? Procaryotic cells do not contain a membrane-bound nucleus or any membrane-bound organelles. Eurkaryotic cells contain both a membrane mound nucleus and membrane-bound organelles (making them far more complex). 2.) List and describe the two domains of prokaryotic organisms. a. Bacteria- Most are a specific shape (cylindrical‚ spiral‚ or spherical). Cell

Rebekah Worley February 21‚ 2012 Mitchell Section 4 Biol 311 Staining and Identifying Unknown Bacteria Introduction: The microbiology lab up to this point has been used to teach the students how to stain and identify bacteria. There are several types of staining through which the bacteria can be identified based on the color and shape. The staining methods used in the lab are Gram Staining‚ Capsule Staining‚ Endospore Staining‚ and Acid Fast staining. One of the most significant method of

When I first met Nathan Wournos‚ I’ll admit that I was a bit of a bitch. But in my defense‚ I had practically met my death by driving off a cliff‚ and to top it off‚ he pulled a gun on me! So no‚ I wasn’t thinking clearly and I was pumped up on adrenaline and sarcasm is my fallback position. I have honed my sharp retorts and quick wit to an art form. Thankfully‚ for some reason Nathan decided to look past my hard exterior and give me a chance at a second impression. I had to give him a chance
