Lab Report: Antibiotic Evaluation by the Kirby-Bauer Method Introduction Chemical antimicrobial agents are chemical compounds capable of either inhibiting the growth of microorganisms or killing them outright. Those which are taken internally to alleviate the symptoms of or promote healing from disease are called chemotherapeutic drugs‚ and among these is a class of compounds called antibiotics. In order for a chemotherapeutic drug to be classed as an antibiotic‚ it must be produced by

BioMi 2911 Spring 2014 RUBRIC FOR DESIGNING YOUR OWN EXPERIMENT: EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN AND MINI-PUBLICATION PART 1: EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Many studies have shown that students learn much about how science is carried out by designing inquiry-based labs. With this in mind‚ a few times during this semester‚ we will ask you to work with your bench mates to design an experiment that will test a given hypothesis—first‚ about Koch’s Postulates‚ then about tracking bacteria in the environment.

Introduction Gram staining was developed by Christian Gram in the 1800’s‚ a Danish bacteriologist. (Smith and Hussey‚ 2005) It was the first differential staining technique and most common used in microbiology. Furthermore‚ bacteria are transparent and cannot be seen through the microscope. For that reason‚ Gram staining is an important tool for distinguishing between two main types of bacteria Gram-positive and Gram-negative. The Gram stain differentiates the Gram positive and gram-negative on

Teaching Methods in Business Education 1 Topic: Concept Mapping Date: October 1‚ 2012 What is Concept Mapping? It is a technique that allows students to understand the relationships between ideas by creating a visual map of the connections. Concepts maps allow the students to (1) see the connections between ideas they already have. (2) Connect new ideas to knowledge that they already have‚ and (3) Organize ideas in a logical but not rigid structure that allows future information

Gram Negative Unknown Lab Report Abstract The Unknown Gram Negative bacterium inoculated in a Tryptic Soy broth medium was randomly selected from a group of other unknowns. In order to identify this unknown the seven different types of biochemical tests will be conducted on this unknown bacterium to identify it out of 6 possible bacteria; Escherichia coli(E. coli)‚ Enterobacter aerogenes (E.aerogenes)‚ Klebsiella pneumoniae (K.pneumoniae)‚ Proteus mirabilis(P.miranilis)‚ Pseudomonas aeruginosa(P

TITLE OF PROJECT: Effects of Chemoattractants of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Through a Capillary Tube. PROPOSED COST: $1764.90 ABSTRACT: This project will show how strong certain bacteria that are commonly found in biofilms attract to Pseudomonas aeruginosa through a capillary tube. It will test ten bacteria to see which bacteria have more chemoattractants with Pseudomonas aeruginosa . These bacteria are all motile‚ so to come together to form a biofilm‚ they must lose their ways of
