culture‚ I immediately made a streak plate and started the Gram Stain protocol1. In the first two slides‚ I made and stained‚ my results were ambiguous. Without putting the slide into the microscope‚ I noticed one was pink and the other purple. To resolve it‚ I discarded my slides and started again and was extremely careful in proceeding the Gram Stain. I concluded that my unknown A was gram-negative bacilli. Using the dichotomous key for gram-negative bacilli I started the protocol for the lactose

Heat resistance of endospores of Bacillus pumilus Abstract Spore suspension of Bacillus pumilus was inoculated into universal bottles containing sterile distilled water in water baths at temperatures of 85°C‚ 90°C and 95°C. At specific time intervals‚ a sample was removed and spread on nutrient agar plates. The number of colonies formed was used to determine the D-value and z-value. The D-value for 85°C is 64.1 minutes‚ 25.7 minutes for 90°C and 8.2 minutes for 95°C while the z-value is 11

Judson Cotterman III 4/6/2012 Section 185-35L Assignment #3 Gram-positive Pathogenic Cocci Discussion My original hypothesis for the individually collected throat culture on Blood Agar Plates‚ that it would show a mixture of alpha‚ beta‚ and gamma hemolysis‚ was based on the results of the class control samples of S. pneumonia‚ S. aureas and S. epidermis. In these controls S. pneumonia shows alpha and beta hemolysis while S. aureas and S. epidermis showed beta and gamma hemolysis respectively.

1. What are the advantages and disadvantages of the different types of light and electron microscopes discussed in Chapter 3 that are used to study microorganisms? Focus your response in terms of the following parameters The disadvantage of using a light microscope is its inability to magnify a specimen as great as an electron microscope. An electron microscope can magnify up to 500‚000 times‚ whereas‚ a light microscope can only magnify an object up to 2000 times. The resolving power or resolving

agency NASA selected Gram Power’s technology among the top-10 cleantech innovations from around the world. Two fresh graduates from the University of California Yashraj Khaitan and Jacob Dickinson founded GRAM POWER which enables villagers to generate and store renewable energy from biomass‚ solar or wind on-site. While on a university project they came to know about the scarcity of electricity in villages‚ this goaded them to devise energy solutions for villagers. This year‚ Gram Power set up India’s

Microscopy and Staining Abstract The primary focus of this lab was on microscopy and simple stains. Microscopy that was used were magnification‚ slide preparation‚ and staining. Methylene blue‚ a simple staining component‚ was used to stain the slide in order to see the different microbes and determine their cellular shape. Introduction The purpose of this lab was to become familiar with the light microscope and how to accurately use it to view specimens. The staining method was used

IDENTIFYING GRAM POSITIVE COCCI As mentioned in Exercise 8‚ “Identifying Gram Negative Rods”‚ identifying bacteria is a common activity in the microbiology lab. Like the game Clue™‚ each time you gather a piece of information to solve the mystery‚ you gather some information that supports some identities and eliminates others from contention. In the lab‚ the process continues as you gather more information until only one microbe remains and all others have been eliminated as possibilities. Thus

used to obtain a pure culture of a Gram positive coccus genus of bacteria. Several biochemical tests will be performed to aid in the identification of this unknown bacterium. Biochemical tests are a series of tests used to identify certain bacterium The various tests that are used in this lab are the catalase test‚ oxidase test‚ blood hemolytic test‚ MSA‚ blood agar‚ and PEA/ab sens test. A known Gram positive coccus bacteria will be used alongside an isolated Gram positive unknown bacteria for comparison

belts‚ caps‚ etc‚ are the most preferred clothing for today’s youth. This study discusses compositions and methods of reducing or preventing back staining of indigo dyes on the weft yarn and pocket of denim garments. The dye‚ as it is removed from the denim material‚ post treatment with cellulase or by a conventional washing process may cause ‘back staining’ or ‘redeposition’ on the denim material; e.g : re-coloration of blue threads and blue coloration of white threads‚ resulting in less contrast between
