Abstract Some bacteria are able to go through transformation making new combinations of genes. Transformation is a way of gene variability in bacteria. This experiment is based on the transformation mechanism of bacteria and gene regulation. The bacteria used for the experiment was Escherichia coli and the genes introduces for the transformation were: gfp and bla by a pGLO™ plasmid. After the insertion of the target genes and growing the bacteria on specialized LB media‚ it could be seen that the

Lactic Acid Bacteria Amanda Perry Many persons are oblivious to the fact that when they consume certain delicious food products like yogurt‚ buttermilk or cheese‚ they are actually eating live bacterial biomass which has acidified the milk content and contains a mixture of bacterial slime layers. Perhaps it is a blessing that most people are unaware because when most hear the word ‘bacteria‚’ their first thought is of a microscopic unicellular organism that causes various types of diseases especially

Lab: Sampling Bacteria Purpose: Refer to handout sheet. Materials: Refer to handout sheet. Procedure: Refer to handout sheet. Pre-Lab Questions: 1. Why is one dish being reserved for the class as a "control"? Having a controlled variable is important in order to be able to look at what the bacteria would look like if it hadn’t been contaminated and just left as agar. Having a sample of agar that wasnt exposed to any bacteria will provide a clear picutre of what grew on the agar

Bacteria‚ such as Vibrio natriegens‚ are single cellular‚ microscopic microorganisms. Bacteria grow by cell division‚ mainly by a process called binary fission‚ where two cells arise from one single cell (Madigan et al.‚ 2015). In bacteria such as Vibrio natriegens‚ who are curved-rod shaped microorganisms‚ they elongate to almost twice their own size and form a dividing wall in which splits the single cell into two daughter cells (Madigan et al.‚ 2015). There are four phases to bacterial cell growth:

Identification of Microorganisms • For many students and professionals the most pressing topic in microbiology is how to identify unknown specimens. • Why is this important? • Labs can grow‚ isolate and identify most routinely encountered bacteria within 48 hrs of sampling. • The methods microbiologist use fall into three categories: ♣Phenotypic- morphology (micro and macroscopic) ♣Immunological- serological analysis ♣Genotypic- genetic techniques Dr.T.V.Rao MD 2 Microbe Identification

staining. Staining techniques play an essential role in the studying of microorganisms; they help to reveal characteristics of microbes‚ such as their morphologies‚ sizes‚ arrangements‚ chemical components and many more. The purposes of the experiments are to be familiar with each staining technique‚ to understand the differences between the techniques‚ to able to read results and to have the knowledge for future use in various fields. -Simple stain helps with determining the sizes‚ shapes

micro-organisms that are in the human digestive system. Article of choice‚ (Adnan‚ 2010) Benefits of Microorganisms to Humans‚ Retrieved February 8‚ 2013. This article was of interest because there are many bacteria that we encounter in our daily lives and it was informative to know that all bacteria is not bad. In fact‚ there needs to be a balance between the two and by educating yourself with the smallest amount of new information is very helpful. Humans rely on micro-organisms for a variety

Sarah Burns Evolution of Plague Bacteria The Bubonic Plague otherwise known as the Black Death‚ has gotten most of its attention from medieval paintings‚ poetry‚ and journals of revulsion. The real horror‚ was the disturbing biological evidence of the bacteria that caused all the pandemics‚ known as Yersinia pestis. The pathogen got its name from the two investigators Yersin and Kitasato. In 1894‚ Yersin was known as the main investigator (ergo. Named after him)‚ he claimed that the mice/rats were

difference between bacteria‚ viruses‚ fungi and parasites are: Bacteria are single celled organisms that can rapidly multiple themselves every 10 minutes up to 10 times each bacterial cell‚ but they do not live or reproduce in a human cell. When threatened they will make a copy of their DNA to enable them to come back to life in the right conditions. They are able to survive in most extreme living conditions including with and without oxygen‚ there are various types of bacteria such as Cocci/Coccus
