3. Would TSA be categorized as a defined or complex media? TSA is categorized as a complex media because the digest of casein and soybean meal are presented in an undefined amount and the amount is varying for different batch of TSA which is what a complex media defined as (Sakazaki‚ 1978). Complex media is defined as media that contain components that are difficult to estimate within the media (Wessner et al.‚ 2013). 4. Would you expect this media to support the growth of all bacteria? It is not

When walking through the grocery store it’s easy to forget where all our food came from‚ and what it was like before it was prepared to meet consumer aesthetic expectations. One vegetable that this is especially true of is corn. Helicoverpa zea or corn earworms aren’t a very appetizing idea to think of‚ yet they are a relevant part of corn production today. This fact became evident to me after working for the maize breeding department this past summer. Around each field the department plants sweet

In order to solve this question‚ we would have to know the pros and cons of DDT and its effects on society. DDT is the cheapest and most effective way of stopping malaria‚ but even the mosquitoes will develop a resistance to DDT. Since this chemical lasts twice as long as other pesticides‚ it is better to continue using DDT‚ because there is no real reason not to use it. On the other hand‚ insects will start to develop a sort of resistance to this harmful chemical. “It is the ‘tough’ insects that

In this essay I’m going to be writing about the article; Scientists Make Mutant Cows that are Resistant to Devastating Disease. And the article itself was about a disease that’s killing cows. And how scientist are going to try to fix it. Which sounds pretty interesting right? Let’s dive in. Unless they have plans for when this doesn’t work how do they know a disease won’t form overtime? Another downside to mutating is that what if it creates another disease that’s even worse than tuberculosis or

Borrell’s article describes the study of chili peppers through the field studies of Joshua Tewksbury‚ an ecologist interested in finding the reason why chili peppers are spicy and if bugs can be blocked by chili peppers and in that way avoid fungus. This article is part of the Smithsonian online magazine. It lacks a reference list; however it makes references to similar studies such as Perry‚ Billing‚ Sherman‚ Nabhan‚ Bosland‚ Machnicki‚ Foley‚ Levey‚ Manchego and Carlo’s. The writer provides

GMOs are plants or animals that have undergone a process where scientists alter their genes with DNA from different species of living organisms‚ bacteria‚ or viruses to get desired traits such as resistance to disease or tolerance of pesticides. How do scientists Genetically modify organisms? Genetically modifying organisms works just like an advanced form of cut and paste. During genetic modification‚ DNA is taken from and unrelated plant‚ animal or bacteria and inserted into a different organism
