Streptococcus pyogenes Research paper MCB 2010C March 17‚ 2014 Nature of Causative Organism Streptococcus pyogenes‚ a group A streptococci‚ is a gram-positive‚ non-spore forming bacteria that can be seen as oval cocci chain forming shapes less than 2 micrometers in diameter under the microscope. It is a facultative anaerobe that can use fermentation for its metabolism. It needs a blood containing medium to grow and exhibits beta-hemolysis. It is a non-motile‚ nonspore forming bacterium. S. pyogenes

Microbiology Lab Report II Title: Determination of a Bacteriophage Titer Purpose: To determine the number of phage particles or plaque-forming units in a suspension of T4 bacteriophage. Materials: 18 24 hour broth culture of Escherichia coli B. 2 ml suspension of T4 bacteriophages with a titer of at least 10‚000 phages/ml 5 trypticase soy agar (TSA) plates. These should be warmed to 37c before use 5 tubes of soft agar (0.7% agar). Prior

Investigating the Growth of P. fluorescens Biofilms at the Air-Liquid Interface and the Variations in Biofilm Integrity Abstract Pseudomonas fluorescens produces biofilms in a variety of environments‚ and in experimental situations has been shown to develop random mutations resulting in a phonotypical change in the resulting biofilm. One particular mutation resulted in the growth of a biofilm known as the Wrinkly Spreader‚ which produced a thicker‚ stronger biofilm that had a stronger attachment

Bacterial Smears Are Fixed before Staining to? Answer It is important to heat fix the bacterial smear before staining so as to‚ kill the bacteria‚ firmly adhere the smear on to the microscopic slide to prevent washing off during staining‚ and to allow the sample to readily take up the stain. Reference: www2.hendrix.edu What is the purpose of heat- fixing the smear? It helps the cells adhere to the slide so that they can be stained. The purpose of heat fixing is to kill the organisms without

understanding become apparent. In the study of living things‚ the Luria and Delbrück experiment stands out for its unique role in opening the door to genetics and microbiology. Though it initially made little impact on the natural sciences‚ it would come to be recognized as a cornerstone in the development of genetics and microbiology. Luria and Delbrücks fluctuation test showed that mutations arise absent from selection‚ consequently establishing that Darwinian natural selection acted on bacteria
