INTRODUCTION To begin the process of protein extraction and compare the results in a study‚ it is necessary to understand the importance of proteins‚ the process of extraction and how you are using the results to determine a rational conclusion. First understand proteins and the necessity of studying their impact. Proteins are essential molecules for biological functions and are the

Multiplication of contaminant bacteria in urine and interpretation of delayed culture. Abstract A prospective study of the bacterial populations of non-infected urine was mounted in an attempt to define the length of delay between voiding and analysis during which culture would not give false positive results due to the multiplication of contaminant bacteria present at the time of voiding. The findings suggest that culture of urine within four hours of voiding is likely to give a true indication

diff‚ is a spore-forming‚ gram-positive‚ anaerobic bacillus (The Mayo Clinic). Although the active bacteria are gram-positive‚ the spores are gram-negative (Horridge‚ et al). Culture of c-diff is performed at normal human body temp‚ on a blood agar (Nadan). After 48 hours of incubation‚ isolates resembling C. diff are anaerobically subcultured on a fastidious anaerobe agar. After the final culture‚ colonies are checked for florescence‚ and gram stained. Once gram-staining is complete‚ colonies are

Pseudomonas and identifying it using phenotypic properties and DNA sequencing as an existent or completely new and undiscovered species of Pseudomonas. Overview: Genus Pseudomonas is a chemoheterotrophic bacteria found in soil and water. They are Gram negative‚ motile‚ paired rods that are also oxidase-positive. Pseudomonas species are well known for their ability to metabolize many different organic nutrients‚ allowing them to be viable in multiple‚ diverse conditions. The Pseudomonas organisms
