Microorganisms are classified according to their structure. By means of flow charts‚ diagrams and tables explain the differences between Viruses‚ Bacteria‚ Cyanobacteria‚ Achaea and Fungi. Bacteria or bacterium are unicellular microorganisms. They are essentially only a few micrometres long and form of various shapes including the spheres‚ rods and spirals.

colorless colonies. Multiple medical experiments are credited towards transformation‚ especially ones involving cancer and the transformation of normal cells to neoplastic and cancerous cells. Introduction The general purpose of the Transformation Lab was to observe the difference in bacterial growth under differing media conditions to help understand the process of transformation and how it contributes to the life of living organisms. "Transformation" is what occurs when a cell receives and expresses

The point of this report is to further explore the identification of my unknown bacteria by revealing the results of the experiments and comparing them to the other six known bacteria: Micrococcus luteus‚ Staphylococcus aureus‚ Staphylococcus epidermidis‚ Alcaligenes faecalis‚ Escherichia coli‚ and Proteus vulgaris that were used in the lab‚ as well as comparing and contrasting the actual and factual results.

To prevent spread of infections‚ the members of staff are usually given liberal sick leave‚ screened for Hepatitis‚ TB‚ staphilococus aureus to name but a few. Infection control also helps protect the health care professionals from being contaminated by patient’s bodily fluids‚ blood and toxic substances.

INTRODUCTION This scientific report is to discuss the results of an experiment being conducted on the effect that antibiotics have on the growth of bacteria. This will be done through the use of microbiology. Microbiology is a science in the department of biology‚ particularly microorganisms. These include; bacterium‚ fungi‚ protozoa‚ algae and viruses. This is an important subject to study as microorganisms can be found everywhere‚ covering all matters of different surfaces even including the human

Unknown Lab Report Microbiology Unknown A Sonia Kabra November 26‚ 2014 Introduction There are numerous reasons for identifying unknown bacteria. Some of these organisms have distinct qualities that set them apart from one another‚ such as the exposure to certain environments. Through out the semester in the laboratory‚ we are able to encounter some of the few microorganisms that we as humans have come into contact with. With the knowledge gained from the sessions in the laboratory‚ we can now

Identification of Staphylococcus aureus and epidermidis Wendy Heck Bio 175: General Microbiology Fall 2012-11-21 Staphylococcus aureus is the most pathogenic for humans and Staphylococcus epidermidis is part of the normal flora and is of low pathogenicity. Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus aureus are two medically important species of bacteria. A culture from the nose and throat was taken to perform whether or not Staphylococcus epidermidis or Staphylococcus aureus were detected
