mechanisms whose transition states are more thermodynamically stable than uncatalyzed reactions (Berg et al.‚ 2002; UBC Department of Microbiology and Immunology‚ 2006). Increased thermodynamic stability in these transition states reduces the energy of activation‚ the minimum amount of energy input a chemical system requires for a reaction to occur (UBC Department of Microbiology and Immunology‚ 2006). Thus‚ substrate is converted to product using less energy at amplified rates when enzymes are involved

The Microbial World The microbial world is a realm of life made up of microorganisms and viruses. Microbiology is the branch of biological sciences concerned with the study of these microbes. Microorganisms are unicellular organisms (capable of existence as single cells)‚ too small to be seen with the naked eye. Among all forms of

The specimens are manually evaluated on a 5-4-3-2-1 scale where class 5 means no shade change and class 1 means a very great shade change. An average of rating is taken as a result. Intermediate ratings like class like 3.5 or

This was compleated by growing the bacteria on a petri dish with agar‚ gram staining‚ then examning under a microscope. The bacteria identified was M. Roseus and B. Megaterium. The identity of these bacteria was mostly determined by the positve gram stain results and the shape they where under the microscope. Both of these bacteria

The Bacteria are more numerous than the Archae. Bacteria can be endospore-forming bacteria. Bacteria that form endospores are able to survive harsh and severe conditions. Bacteria can also be Enteric Bacteria‚ they inhabit the intestinal tracts of animals. One species is

Aseptic Technique and Culturing Microbes‚ Lab #3 Purpose: The purpose of the this experiment is to learn to transfer microorganisms to a nutrient medium to promote growth using aseptic techniques. which are a method used to prevent unwanted organisms from contaminating a medium. We will also learn about different types of culture media‚ including MRS broth and nutrient broth‚ learn about oxygen and temperature requirements for microbial growth and how to control microbial growth.
