MICROBIOLOGY 3444-007 Gram Negative Unknown Unknown Bacteria #14 LeNaiya Kydd 4/2/2014 Abstract In order to be able to identify the unknown organism that was given to us‚ we had to conduct a number of different tests. These biological tests are used because they help us be able to identify the properties of the unknown we have and be able to compare our observed results with actual results of all the potential organisms. When all of the data of the test are put together it is easy to

Some food in this world are made using microorganism to produce a desire flavour‚ taste and texture of the food. For examples: yogurt‚ tapai‚ cheese‚ bread and others. Starter cultures is used in these food production. A starter culture is a microbiological culture which actually perform fermentation. These starters usually consist of a cultivation medium‚ such as grains‚ seeds‚ or nutrient liquids that have been well colonized by the microorganisms used for the fermentation. These starters are formed

Deadly Invaders Project 1. A virus is an infective agent that has a nucleic acid molecule in a protective coat. They generally range in 20 to 300 nm‚ has RNA or DNA that multiplies in a cell. A lytic phase in a virus is when the conditions for infecting are favorable‚ when there are many “victim cells” and good conditions outside the cell. 2. Viruses are not alive‚ as they only have DNA/RNA and few other necessary ingredients of a cell. They lack too many things to be called living. Viruses reproduce
