billion years to a time when the Earth was covered with oceans that regularly reached the boiling point‚ hundreds of millions of years before dinosaurs roamed the earth. The field of food microbiology is a very broad one‚ encompassing the study of microorganisms which have both beneficial and deleterious effects on the quality and safety of raw and processed foods. Food science is a discipline concerned with all aspects of food - beginning after harvesting‚ and ending with consumption by the consumer

The bacteria that ferment lactose die off as the Ph drops. Salmonella survives because it does not use lactose. The TBGB broth‚ is the second step in isolating Salmonella‚ from other bacteria in the sample. It inhibits the growth Gram-positive microorganisms and some Gram-negative bacilli. Brilliant Green Agar (BGA) isolates salmonella because they do not ferment lactose‚ so they grow red. LIA and TSI confirm if salmonella is growing on BGA. Spinach sample B tested positive during the LIA and TSI

it has a negligible effect on the availability of fixed nitrogen. So‚ nitrogen is often the limiting factor for growth and biomass production in all environments where there is suitable climate and availability of water to support life. Microorganisms have a central role in almost all aspects of nitrogen availability and thus for life support on earth: some bacteria can convert N2 into ammonia by the process termed nitrogen fixation; these bacteria are either free-living or form symbiotic
