Microorganisms are capable of causing infection or spoilage. Controlling bacterial growth is important in poultry farm businesses that use equipment to decontaminate processing plant fluids before disposal. During quality control and safety evaluations‚ bacteria growth that needs to be controlled can be found. While controlling bacterial growth‚ clusters of Gram Positive Cocci were found. It was found some ways to control bacterial growth were disinfection‚ sterilization‚ antisepsis‚ sanitization‚ moist

a good idea for them to have a food hygiene certificate. Different ways that food can be kept safe are: To be assured that all foods free from contamination by harmful bacteria. This is done by protecting the bacteria from multiplying‚ so the level of risk is not too high By cooking food you can destroy the harmful bacteria The basic rules of food hygiene: Before you start to cook or prepare foods you should always make sure that your hands are washed and hair is up and in a cap. Also you should

Bio-112 Antibiotic Resistance Experiment Lab Partners: March 10‚ 2010 When we initially started the bacteria antibiotic experiment on February 10‚ 2010 our team selected e-coli and Rifampicin (Rb5) to find out the level of resistance e-coli would build towards this antibiotic. When we first checked our agar dish on February 15‚ 2010 we noticed two circles for the zone of inhibition the small circle was 1.5 cm and the medium circle was 3.00 cm. Two days later when we checked

Cross Infection Definition Cross infection is the physical movement or transfer of harmful bacteria from one person‚ object‚ or place to another‚ or from one part of the body to another (such as touching a staph-infected hand to the eye). When this cross infection occurs in a hospital or long-term care facility it is called a nosocomial infection. Community acquired infections are those contracted anywhere except a hospital or long-term care facility. Description Cross infection accounts for

the street. Bacteria have the ability to do this. Through the processes of transformation‚ transduction‚ and conjugation bacteria are able to exchange DNA and as a result increasing genetic variety. “In transformation‚ the recipient bacterium takes up extracellular donor DNA. In transduction‚ donor DNA packaged in a bacteriophage infects the recipient bacterium. In conjugation‚ the donor bacterium transfers DNA to the recipient by mating.” Horizontal gene transfer also allows bacteria to acquire

c------------------------------------------------- Evidence for Endosymbiotic theory: ------------------------------------------------- Evidence that mitochondria and plastids arose from bacteria is as follows:[13][14][15] * New mitochondria and plastids are formed only through a process similar to binary fission. * In some algae‚ such as Euglena‚ the plastids can be destroyed by certain chemicals or prolonged absence of light without otherwise affecting the cell. In such a case‚ the

Regarding the cell walls of bacteria‚ a Gram stain determines what kind of bacterium the cell is. The Gram stain works by creating a purple dye that either attaches or fails to attach to the peptidoglycan either found or not found on the cell wall of the cell. Gram-positive bacteria are cells that have a large amount of peptidoglycan in their cell wall‚ and those that are Gram-negative have an extra cell

Introduction: Bacteria are microscopic‚ single-celled organisms. Their genetic information is encoded in one large chromosome. It can also be found in plasmids which are small circular pieces of DNA that contain important genetic information for the growth of bacteria. In nature‚ this information is often a gene that encodes a protein that will make the bacteria resistant to an antibiotic. The reason for this protein being made within the bacteria is because of how bacteria usually grow in the same

Water Microbiology INTRODUCTION There are 4 learning goals for this lab: 1. Collect samples and compile data from at least 2 sources (soil; water) of your choice. 2. Identify at least 2 Prokaryotes (bacteria) and 2 Eukaryotes (fungus) in your samples. 3. Research the importance of bacteria and fungus to Earth in a non-medical context. 4. Compile a high-quality‚ 3+ resource (excluding the lab worksheet)‚ MLA-cited in-text laboratory report using the scientific method by class due date. HYPOTHESIS
