Introduction The purpose of this lab was to identify unknown bacteria cultures using various differential tests‚ and my unknown bacteria is #17. The identification of these unknown cultures was accomplished by separating and differentiating possible bacteria based on specific biochemical characteristics. Whether the tests performed identified specific enzymatic reactions or metabolic pathways‚ each was used in a way to help recognize those specifics and identify the unknown cultures. The differential

Sal I enzyme and pGEM for shotgun cloning Introduction: The ultimate goal of this experiment is to isolate the lux operon‚ a targeted piece of DNA that causes bioluminescence‚ from Aliivibrio fischeri and insert it into the DNA of Escherichia coli in order to make it glow. A. fischeri is a gram-negative bacteria which participates in a symbiotic relationship with many marine organisms (Perry et al.‚ 2005). This particular bacterium has the feature of bioluminescence‚ which is regulated by a

silver in general‚ and of silver nanoparticles in particular‚ is of significant interest because it appears to be independent of the strain of bacteria. Crucially‚ antibiotic resistant strains‚ MRSA (methicillin‚ or multiple-resistant Staphylococcus aureus)‚ E. coli O157‚ and others are affected by silver [6]. The reasons for this are not fully clear as yet‚ but could be related to mechanisms of silver ion action on bacteria [110]‚ trypanosomes and yeasts‚ all of which can take up and concentrate
