Some food in this world are made using microorganism to produce a desire flavour‚ taste and texture of the food. For examples: yogurt‚ tapai‚ cheese‚ bread and others. Starter cultures is used in these food production. A starter culture is a microbiological culture which actually perform fermentation. These starters usually consist of a cultivation medium‚ such as grains‚ seeds‚ or nutrient liquids that have been well colonized by the microorganisms used for the fermentation. These starters are formed

Deadly Invaders Project 1. A virus is an infective agent that has a nucleic acid molecule in a protective coat. They generally range in 20 to 300 nm‚ has RNA or DNA that multiplies in a cell. A lytic phase in a virus is when the conditions for infecting are favorable‚ when there are many “victim cells” and good conditions outside the cell. 2. Viruses are not alive‚ as they only have DNA/RNA and few other necessary ingredients of a cell. They lack too many things to be called living. Viruses reproduce

Quantification of Microbes in Milk and Water Naomi Hall 10/20/14 BSC 381L H003 Group: Megan Baker‚ Katie Coe and Meagan Williams Abstract Coliforms are gram negative bacteria commonly found in the intestines of birds and mammals and are the most widely utilized indicators of fecal contamination. The purpose of this experiment was to test various water and milk samples for the presence of coliforms‚ specifically fecal coliforms. It was expected that fecal coliforms would be found in all

^Definition of Microbiology – the study of microorganisms‚ which are organisms or agents‚ which are too small to be observed with the unaided eye. Objects having a diameter of less than 0.1mm cannot be seen with out the use of a microscope. Why do we study microbiology? Because microorganisms have a close association with us – the microbes are in us‚ on us and everything around us. They are essential for our own survival – we need them‚ they do not need us.
