The Effects of Antibiotics on Bacterial Growth Biology II 1996 Bacteria are the most common and ancient microorganisms on earth. Most bacteria are microscopic‚ measuring 1 micron in length. However‚ colonies of bacteria grown in a laboratory petri dish can be seen with the unaided eye. There are many divisions and classifications of bacteria that assist in identifying them. The first two types of bacteria are archaebacteria and eubacteria. Both groups have common ancestors dating to more

Renaissance[edit] The color pink has been described in literature since ancient times. In the Odyssey‚ written in approximately 800 BCE‚ Homer wrote "Then‚ when the child of morning‚ rosy-fingered dawn appeared..."[7] Roman poets also described the color. Roseus is the Latin word meaning "rosy" or "pink." Lucretius used the word to describe the dawn in his epic poem On the Nature of Things (De rerum natura).[8] Pink was not a common color in the fashion of the Middle Ages; nobles usually preferred brighter

Although Cyclophosphamide is synthetically produced‚ Vinblastine is primarily derived from the Madagascar Periwinkle flower‚ or Catharanthus Roseus. However‚ the extraction is expensive and yields of Vinblastine are low at an overall yield of about 10%. This has led to a recent surge in the study of how to synthesize the drug‚ and currently the yield of the synthesized version is at around 22%

currently undergoing preclinical and early clinical development (Table 3) [3‚14]. Plant-derived compounds‚ in particular‚ have .a special place in the anticancer therapy (Table 4) [15‚16]. The Vinca alkaloid vincristine (isolated from Catharanthus roseus) is part of various curative regimens in patients with leukaemia and lymphoma [17‚18]. Similarly‚ the epipodophyllotoxin derivative‚ etoposide (extracted from the mandrake plant Podophyllum peltatum

Exercise 5 Introduction: Many different species of bacteria look similar under the microscope and also have the same staining results (ex. Gram stain). To be able to differentiate between the different species‚ one can look at the metabolic differences (fermentation)‚ as well as the environmental condition differences (temperature‚ pH‚ oxygen requirements). Being able to manipulate these conditions in a controlled environment can help to correctly identify the exact bacteria. Different media
Premium Bacteria Microbiology Gram staining
In March 10‚ the first procedure that was done was gram staining. The purpose of this procedure was to determine if the unknown bacterium is gram-positive or gram-negative‚ and also to determine the cell shape. Gram-positive cells will be purple while gram-negative cells will be pink. The methods for the Gram staining method first starts with a fixed smear of the bacterium‚ covered it with crystal violet for 30 seconds. Afterwards‚ it should be gently rinsed off with distilled water and be covered

tests based of those results of the stain to determine what my unknown could be. The first test I did was the catalase test. It had a positive reaction meaning the bacteria produced the enzyme catalase. This helped me narrow my unknown down to Micrococcus and Staphylococcus. I inoculated my unknown onto a mannitol salt agar. The growth and color change to yellow indicated mannitol fermentation because acid was produced. The acid fermentation is a characteristic of the pathogen

MICROBES AND FOOD – A ‘RELATIONSHIP’ Microbes and food have always had a love-hate relationship. Food producers have learned to harness their power -- and sometimes for good use. There is no doubt that organically grown fruits and vegetables are superior in flavor. Now‚ despite arguments to the contrary made by food manufacturers‚ they may well be more nutritious for a variety of reasons. There are always studies available to prove any point‚ especially one
