Two different types of procedures were carried out over the course of this experiment: tube inoculation and plate inoculation. We started with plate preparation. Three different lysogeny broth‚ or LB‚ agar plates were prepared for E. coli growth every other week: a control where water was used‚ one for triclosan‚ and one for streptomycin. Using an inoculation loop‚ E. coli was transferred from the test tube to the agar plate. This was done to each plate twice‚ creating a grid-like pattern of bacteria

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the biodegradability and the toxicity of vegetable oils in comparison with the reference mineral-based oils. In the research paper produce by Tamada et al. (2012)‚ carried out an investigation on the biodegradability of vegetable oils and the impact of toxicity of vegetable oils to the environment. The experiment was first started off‚ by establishing the concentration of oil to be biodegraded in the soil for the toxicity test. The concentration of oils that

This semester while we worked through this unit‚ we were trying to figure out why Addie got so sick and how we could look at the juncos as a comparison study. We learned about the relationship that antibiotics and bacteria have by looking at our NetLogo Simulation and Petri Dish Lab. Also‚ we learned about various CDC recommendations for using antibiotics and preventing bacterial illnesses. When we looked at the juncos‚ we were able to learn how common ancestry works within any species. Throughout

Title: - Infrared Spectroscopy‚ Boiling point and Melting point. Introduction: - Infrared spectroscopy has also made a break though in medicine. It used to evaluate the kidney stone diseases thus broadening the use of IR in different ways. The purpose of this lab experiment is to identify the unknown solutions using the Infrared Spectroscopy (IR)‚ boiling point‚ and melting point (1). The IR helps to determine the compounds such as a functional group. In order to analyze the compound‚ IR and melting

ABSTRACT Purpose: To evaluate the antifungal and cytotoxicity activity of four medicinal plants like Mystroxylon aethiopicum‚ Lonchocarpus capassa‚ Albizia anthelmentica and Myrica salicifolia. Methods: Microdilution method and brine shrimp lethality test were employed to evaluate antifungal and cytotoxicity of plant extracts. Results: Lonchocarpus capassa leaf extracts exhibited antifungal activity against tested fungal strains with MIC range of 0.78 – 3.125 mg/mL with LCLA extract inhibiting C

The antifeedant activity of the extracts choice and no-choice test methods‚ after 24 and 48 hours in each test‚ against 7 day old (3rd instar) larvae of S. litura on castor leaves. Stock solutions of the test compounds were prepared in the carrier solvents. Further dilution was done in emulsified water by maintaining emulsifier (Tween – 80) level at 0.5 % to yield various concentrations. Castor leaf discs (4 cm diameter) were punched out from the washed and dried castor leaves. Leaf discs were dipped

The problem that was required to be investigated in this laboratory experiment was to determine which type of cleaning product would be able to prevent the most bacterial growth when placed in a neutral environment. In order to answer this problem‚ 8 different disinfectants were tested‚ including sterile water‚ and their after two days their zones of inhibition were measured and recorded. A hypothesis that was formulated before experimenting was‚ “If the type of disinfectant is Mouthwash‚ then it
