Identifying Unknown Bacteria Using Biochemical and Molecular Methods Beginning of Instructor Pages Instructor Pages - - 3 Purpose The purpose of this lab is to introduce a variety of lab techniques to students working on the common problem of identifying an unknown bacterium. This lab helps students develop an understanding of the biochemical and molecular differences in bacteria and introduces the concept of identifying species based on characeristic gene sequences. Students work through

Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus albus Some bacteria’s require a certain amount of light in order to function properly and there fore survive. Escherichia coli is found in the gut and intestines of mammals. Staphylococcus albus is generally a skin dwelling bacteria Aim: To test whether the amount and type of light that the bacteria’s E.coli and S.albus are subject to causes changes in their growth rates and habits. To test whether the growth rates and habits of the bacteria’s E. coli

LAB Report #3 Introduction: In this lab we have focus on Isolation of bacteria from environment. Microorganisms are found throughout the environment: in the air and water; on the surface of any object such as clothes‚ walls‚ furniture; in soil and dust; and on and in our own bodies (skin and mucous membranes). In order to demonstrate the ubiquity and diversity of microbes in the environment‚ samples from immediate areas of the environment and/or from your body will be obtained and cultured

Survey of Nasal Carriage of Staphylococcus aureus in Microbiology 1 Students at RMIT Aim: To determine the carriage rate of Staphylococcus aureus in the nares of students taking second year microbiology courses at RMIT. Introduction: Carriage of S.aureus is important in hospital patients‚ preoperative patients‚ hospital staff‚ food handlers etc. because it carriage of S.aureus appears to play a key role in the epidemiology and pathogenesis of infection. S.aureus can cause localized and invasive

Title: The fundamental of FRED Abstract: In the teaching area of digital design for master degree‚ there is one brand-new assignment method has come which is FRED. FRED-Item inspires students to create their own thinking into their production. There are four parts in FRED-Item which are covered every factor that should appeared in one scholar assignment. FRED-Item contains many digital types beside common essay. Students will consider not only the topic for FRED‚ but also the best way that can

The basic idea of star formation is gravitational collapse – the contraction of a region of gas under the influence of gravity. This is a simple process that would be expected to occur in any region of material dense enough for collisions between atoms to radiate away energy. However‚ the gas must be dense enough for collisions to occur and the temperature must be low enough for the atomic velocities not to be able to escape the system’s gravity‚ so star formation only occurs in a few areas. The

Prof. Kimberly Rutledge BIO 150 - Unknown Bacterium Identification March 26‚ 2014 Lap Report Unknown Number : #12 Name of Unknown : Pseudomona aerugninosa The identification of unknown bacteria is a time-honored part of microbiology courses. It will challenge my knowledge and skill in performing laboratory techniques and my ability to critically evaluate the information obtained from these techniques. The unknown bacterium tube number 12 was picked. According to the procedures that we have

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

There are 2 ways that the fomites can be transmitted. These include direct and indirect transmission. Direct transmission occurs when there is physical contact between an infected person and a susceptible person. Indirect contact transmission occurs when there is no direct human-to-human contact. Contact occurs from a reservoir to contaminated surfaces or objects‚ or to vectors such as insects or animals. Direct contact infections spread when microorganisms pass from the infected person to the healthy

Voyager in Interstellar Space Waiting for groundbreaking results on an object that has been sent into space can take up to decades. Fortunately‚ for the Voyager 1 spacecraft‚ the results are in! Since the Voyager 1 launched in 1977‚ there has finally been evidence that detects its new whereabouts‚ which is in interstellar space. Interstellar space can be otherwise known as outside the heliosphere‚ and the heliosphere is also considered the boundary of our solar system. In relation to Earth‚ Voyager
