Contributors to Microbiology Pioneers of Microbiology I. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek (Oct. 24‚ 1632- Aug. 30‚ 1723) A. In 1676 Leeuwenhoek saw tiny organisms in water‚ he was the first man to observe and describe bacteria accurately. He discovered microscopic nematodes‚ blood cells and sperm. He also made over 500 microscopes to view specific objects. B. Microbiology is concerned with the study of all forms of life that are too small to be seen with the naked eye. Antonie’s work

contain cocci with direct staining. At direct staining plaque smear contain cocci and bacillus. Yeast with indirect staining contains cocci as well. On same picture bacteria are singled while on some pictures bacteria are in group and uneven clusters. Different type of stain plays role to differentiate the shape of bacteria. C: When we are talking about difference between direct and indirect stains‚ main importance is acidity of the dye. Dye that we are using in direct staining is basic. The colored

` Study Guide for Exam 1 Chapter 1: 1. What is a “microbe”? What groups of organisms are included in this category? Microbes (microorganisms) are minute living things that individually are too small to be seen with the unaided eye the group includes bacteria‚ fungi‚ protozoa‚ and microscopic algae‚ viruses Only minority of microorganisms are pathogenic(disease-producing) 2. What are some of the benefits provided by microbes? Decompose organic waste‚ producers in the ecosystem

cross walls). Some have slow gliding locomotion. (Rainis 43) When looking at a bacterial sample under a microscope‚ the experimenter has to stain the bacteria first. The stain serves to define the bacterial cells. All bacteria are either gram negative or gram positive. To stain a sample first the scientist has to “set” the sample. Setting the sample is the basis for all stains. To “set” or simple-stain a sample of

Since Y. pestis is a strain of bacillus bacteria‚ it attaches to a host to thrive and sustain nutrition. Specifically Iron is needed to keep alive the pathogen which is why homo sapiens were the most reliable source to inhabit. Humans need

is a practice that aids in Increasing ones knowledge of a laboratory setting and it helps improve on Using sterile technique. Isolates of soil microbes can be categorized and Characterized based on a number of criteria ranging from gram-staining Which is done for this project to enumeration which is quantitative description Based on the amount of microbial colonies available. The Antimicrobial Activity of three different microbes were also tested and results were obtained

Chapter 1 Cell Theory- in the 18th century‚ two scientists came up with the cell theory. Schleiden and Schwen. 3 corollaries of the cell theory: -all cells are alike in chemical composition -all cells store and process information in the same way -all cells arise from other cell through cell division 5 types of different Microscopes 1. Light Microscope- produces 2-D image Direct descendants of Hooks scope> take two lenses to a light source> used this to magnify images up to 1‚000 fold.
