Isolation of Bacteria in our Physical Environment Introduction: The purpose of the lab is to apply what has been learned so far in Microbiology‚ and use it to collect and examine microbial species from the physical environment. The physical environment around the lab will be utilized to find out the variety of different microbial species growing in and around the lab. This investigation will help in preparation for the individual projects that will be done at the end of the semester. Materials

Isolation and identification of an unknown bacterium Pillay‚ Esmerelda (209504371) School of Biochemistry‚ Genetics and Microbiology Department of Microbiology University of Kwa-zulu Natal 25 October 2010 ABSTRACT Different types of bacteria in various forms are found all around us‚ and it is a microbiologist’s job to be able to identify these bacteria. Using various staining techniques and physiological tests‚ an isolated bacterium can be identified. In this experiment‚ a single bacterial

3) glycosidic bonds instead of N-acetylmuramic acid and Beta glycocidic (1‚ 4) in bacteria’s peptidoglycan. Consequently‚ unlike Eubacteria all Archaea have the ability to resist attack by lysozyme and beta Lactam antibiotics like penicillin (Microbiology‚ Preston Scott). However‚ both possess a crystal-like protein surface that act as selective medium to solute entrance. (The Archaea- a biochemical perspective Clive Bullock). Furthermore‚ both prokaryotes differ in cell membrane structure‚ Archaea

running head: UNIT 10. ASSIGNMENT Environmental Microbiology With so much advertising for various antibacterial products‚ many people have gotten the impression that all bacteria are harmful and that maybe the Earth would be better off if all bacteria were eliminated. What would life be like in a bacteria-free world? Bacteria help decay materials and put vitamins and minerals‚ and gases into the atmosphere. Without them the world would be able to produce little food. Bacteria are woven into

Within Clinical settings the prevalence of nosocomial Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections is rising which is placing more patients at risk of acquiring an infection and placing more strain on the health care system‚ as patients receiving these infections are occupying hospital beds for extended periods of time (Chaberny et al 2008‚ p 526). With this knowledge‚ the author has identified that there is a lacking of screening measures that‚ if implemented‚ may help to reduce

Lactic Acid Bacteria Amanda Perry Many persons are oblivious to the fact that when they consume certain delicious food products like yogurt‚ buttermilk or cheese‚ they are actually eating live bacterial biomass which has acidified the milk content and contains a mixture of bacterial slime layers. Perhaps it is a blessing that most people are unaware because when most hear the word ‘bacteria‚’ their first thought is of a microscopic unicellular organism that causes various types of diseases especially
