There are several different medical reasons for identifying microorganisms. The reasons may vary from having to know the causative agent of a disease in a patient to be able to treat and care for them properly‚ to knowing the correct microorganism to be used for making certain antibiotics as well as proper dosages‚ down to knowing all microbes associated with consumed foods such as plants and animals in case of an allergen or a contamination outbreak. This analysis was done by utilizing all of

Isolation of Bacteria in our Physical Environment Introduction: The purpose of the lab is to apply what has been learned so far in Microbiology‚ and use it to collect and examine microbial species from the physical environment. The physical environment around the lab will be utilized to find out the variety of different microbial species growing in and around the lab. This investigation will help in preparation for the individual projects that will be done at the end of the semester. Materials

Biology101 McDowall 10/29/2012 Escherichia Coli “The Bacterial Beast” E.coli or binomial name Escherichia coli was discovered by a German pediatrician named Theodore Escherich in 1885. Dr. Escherich originally named the bacteria‚ bacillus communis coli. After the demise of Dr. Escherich the intestinal bacteria was then named Escherichia coli after the late doctor in 1919. The bacteria Escherichia coli are classified as follows. Domain- Bacteria Kingdom- Eubacteria Phylum- Proteobacteria

Since gravity will be constant wherever you are‚ only moment or torque will be relevant. A spring balance is not a comparison technique‚ so gravity changes will be relevant to the result - hence only weight can be measured. Basically‚ if the two forces each side of the balance point (fulcrum) are equal‚ the balance will be horizontal. The pointer on the balance indicates this condition. The sample being weighed has a specific mass generating a fixed moment at its fixed position. The moment

Definition for antibiotic resistant bacteria: WebMD definitions: Antibiotic resistance is a type of drug resistance where a microorganism is able to survive exposure to an antibiotic. Genes can be... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antibiotic-resistant_bacteria Antibiotics were designed to kill bacterium that infect us. Unfortunately‚ they are indiscriminate and also kill the good bacterium that are mostly found in the large intestinal tract. This leaves a person open to reinfection‚ or other more

Gram-positive cocci in clusters (catalase positive). The coagulase test is used to differentiate Staphylococcus aureus from coagulase-negative staphylococci. The test uses rabbit plasma that has been inoculated with a staphylococcal colony. The tube is then incubated at 37 degrees Celsius for 1½ hours. If negative then continue incubation up to 18 hours. * If positive (i.e.‚ the suspect colony is S. aureus)‚ the serum will coagulate‚ resulting in a clot (sometimes the clot is so pronounced that the

Autumn White Biology 258-05 November 26‚ 2012 Unknown #19 Enterbacteriaceae Enterobacter aerogenes ABSTRACT The objective of this report was to identify an unknown microorganism through several differential media tests. Over the course of a couple weeks‚ ten tests were performed. First‚ a gram stain was performed‚ indicating the bacterium was gram negative. An aerotolerance test determined that the bacterium was a facultative anaerobe. Next‚ a negative result in the

Abstract: Bacteria consists of a large domain of prokaryotic microorganism in which can fight of antibiotics allowing the bacteria to become antibiotic resistant. In this lab report‚ we discover the most effective disinfectant that would work best in killing the harmful bacterial strain‚ Bacillus subtilis. KB testing or disc diffusion antibiotic sensitivity testing is measured through the diameter in millimeters to find how resistant the antibiotic to the bacteria. The hypothesis of Windex fell correctly

UNKNOWN LAB REPORT UNKNOWN NUMBER 54 Ron Williams 7-28-05 Bio 205 Prof. Curlee Fall 2005 Purpose There are many reasons for knowing the identity of microorganisms. The reasons range from the knowing the causative agent of a disease in a patient‚ so as to know how it can be treated‚ to knowing the correct microorganism to be used for making certain foods or antibiotics. This study was done by applying all of the methods that have been learned so far in the microbiology laboratory
