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

Case Story‚ Question 1 How would Ed’s blood help protect him from a foreign invader such as the one now in his system? Ed’s blood contains white blood cells‚ which combat infection and inflammation. Foreign invaders attract phagocytic neutrophils and macrophages by means of chemotaxis. These particular cells eat and dispose of pathogens in a process called phagocytosis. These cells ingest and dispose of pathogens and dead matter during phagocytosis. Case Story‚ Question 2 The sporozites

L-lysine. A variety of biopolymers‚ such as polysaccharides‚ polyesters‚ and polyamides‚ are produced by microorganisms. Microorganisms are used for the biotechnological production of biopolymers with tailored properties suitable for high-value medical application such as tissue engineering and drug delivery. Microorganisms are used for the biosynthesis of xanthan‚ alginate‚ cellulose‚ cyanophycin‚ poly(gamma-glutamic acid)‚ levan‚ hyaluronic acid‚ organic acids‚ oligosaccharides and polysaccharide

inadequate sewage control. In the United States‚ 15‚000 to 20‚000 cases of hepatitis A were reported. Usually these cases are a result of unhygienic food handling‚ sexual transmission‚ institutional contact‚ travel to other countries and the consumption of shellfish. Generally hepatitis A consists of flu-like symptoms and darkened urine is often seen in those infected. Jaundice and swollen liver are only present in extreme cases that constitute 10% of people infected with the hepatitis A Virus

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 class for the identification of an unknown bacterium. Hypothesis By slowly narrowing down the bacteria by each test‚ I will be able to conclude the unknown bacteria by its special characteristics

Microbiology Unknown 5/7/2013 Microbiology Unknown #94 The purpose of this report was to identify an unknown bacterium by applying methods that were previously learned and conducted in microbiology lab class. It is possible to identify a mixed culture by running experiments on the unknown bacteria and taking what we already know and applying it to the results. It helps to slowly eliminate any bacteria that do not correspond with the results of certain tests. An unknown test tube labeled 94 was
