Unit 7 Introduction In this piece of coursework‚ there are few amounts of ideas and experiments that I could achieved of which different products to test for my concluding idea. The type of bacteria that I am going to discuss and chosen is E-coli. I will also going to research the effectiveness of antibacterial cleaning products‚ for instance sanitizer. I will also‚ research which is the most effective product for the house hold and some other work places. Background Information What are

CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Food is one of human sources of calorie‚ protein‚ fats‚ and nutrition. Yet‚ because of the highly nutritious content‚ food is susceptible to growth of microorganisms. By the presence of microorganisms in food‚ the food is more likely to have shorter shelf life. Thus‚ mostly it is resolved by the addition of antimicrobial substances to food‚ such as condiments and preservatives. Condiments and preservatives could inhibit the growth of microorganisms

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. Materials: 4 sterile cotton swab‚ sterile water in test tube‚ 4 agar plates and 2 blood agar plates‚ wax pencil and labels

Labset Five Worksheet 1. List five environments where you are likely to find microbial growth: Lakes‚ soil‚ oceans‚ tundras‚ deserts 2. How do microbes contribute to soil fertility? The decomposition that microbes take part in help release mineral nutrients‚ such as potassium and nitrogen‚ from dead organic matter and allowing primary producers the nutritional access. They also produce CO2 and CH4 to release into the soil and atmosphere. 3. Describe the growth you observed in each of your

“The process in which a parent cell splits into two daughter cells of approximately equal size”(northwestern.edu). The reproduction of bacteria can be stopped using antimicrobials. Antimicrobials were created and are used “to destroy disease-causing microbes”(cdc.gov). That means that antimicrobials fight and destroy organism such as bacteria. We use antimicrobials to clean are house and protect ourselves from bacterias. One example of an antimicrobial that we use in our home is bleach. Bleach contains

We them transferred our collected sample onto two separate TSA plates by swabbing the agar in a zigzag fashion‚ rotating the petri dish to spread the bacteria in various directions. This culturing technique helped us to see the full growth of the biofilm that would be growing after inoculation. After the fifth day of inoculation‚ we were able to visibly see the various bacterial
