Background: In Jane Horack’s article “Staphylococcus epidermidis”‚ S. epidermidis is described as “gram-positive cocci bacteria that are part of the normal flora on the skin and nasal passages.” The article goes on to say that the species was originally named Staphylococcus Albus by microbiologist Rosenback in 1884. When viewed under a microscope S. epidermidis will appear in chains‚ pairs‚ or grape-like clusters (Horak 1). Taxonomically‚ the species S. epidermidis falls in the genus Staphylococcus

CHM152LL LAB MANUAL COMPLEXOMETRIC DETERMINATION OF WATER HARDNESS Complexometric Determination of Water Hardness Introduction Complex ions When a neutral molecule or anion (a Lewis base) donates electron pairs and attaches itself to a metal ion center (a Lewis acid)‚ the resulting cluster‚ or complex‚ of atoms becomes a single complex ion. When such complexes form‚ the electron donating groups (called ligands) form coordinate covalent bonds through empty orbitals on the metal ion. An example

Complexometric Determination of Water Hardness Kayla Partridge Britni Gonzales 09/15/2014 Abstract Determining the water hardness of unknown sample #55 was determined by complexometric titration. With the use of disodium salt EDTA as the solution to chelate the metal impurities and the Eriochrome Black T indicator as the solution used to help visualize when the impurities were completely chelated‚ along with a few other solutions to help the reaction. Unknown water sample #55 experimental

Is there anything more frustrating than sitting in rush hour traffic‚ day after day‚ knowing that it will never get better? How does standing in line at the grocery store‚ spending a full day at the crowded Department of Motor Vehicles‚ or having to squeeze into the packed elevator in a downtown high-rise sound? These are but a few minor‚ yet inconvenient‚ effects of the population explosion Californian’s face day after day. Our geographical space is not getting any larger‚ but the population is

Lactose fermentation results in a colony color change ranging from pink to purple. Determination of oxygen requirements is a test to determine whether a microbe is an obligate aerobe‚ anaerobe‚ or facultative. The culture is put in a melted 5% glucose TSA. As the media cools it solidifies‚ oxygen is blocked out in the deeper area to create

Determination of blood type Introduction: A blood type is a classification of blood based on the present or absence of inherited antigens substances on the surface of RBCs‚ these antigens are made by proteins‚ carbohydrates‚ and glycolipid‚ Now there are total of 8 blood type known for the international society of blood transfers ( ISBT)‚ Also 600 antigens are known for ISBT‚ Antigens are a type of protein (Y shaped) found in blood and it has a great role in the immune system to recognize any

The unknown bacteria A and bacteria B have to be identified by its genus and species. First both bacteria had to be inoculated into a TSA agar media using the streak plate method. Four quadrants were drawn‚ so that the bacteria could be isolated as much as possible. Each bacteria was inoculated into two different plates‚ so that one could be incubated at 37 degrees Celsius and the other at 25 degrees Celsius. Bacteria B‚ which was incubated at room temperature showed red colonies throughout its media
