Cheese: A Home to Bacteria “Cheese is just a means of controlled spoilage‚” said Steve Jenkins‚ a Master Cheesemonger at Fairway Market. (Cheese) Bacteria‚ or starter cultures‚ control the flavor‚ hardness‚ type‚ and many more aspects of cheese. The two main strands of bacteria involved in cheese making are Lactococcus and Lactobacillus‚ which ferment sugars found in the milk. Humans have learned to manipulate bacteria and the fermentation process to produce different types of cheese such as Swiss

against tested bacteria and fungus and more commonly used antibiotics were used in comparison to propolis samples. The second method was employed by measuring Minimal Inhibitory Concentration & Minimal Bactericidal; Fungicidal Concentrations (MIC‚ MBC & MFC) using two fold dilution method for propolis extracts and ethanol 70% as a solvent control in serial concentrations. The Results exhibited that propolis is more efficient than some antibiotic discs. The most sensitive bacteria against (EEP)

is researching a newly-discovered species of bacteria. At time t = 0 hours‚ he puts one hundred bacteria into what he has determined to be a favorable growth medium. Six hours later‚ he measures 450 bacteria. a. Assuming exponential growth‚ what is the growth constant "k" for the bacteria? (Round k to two decimal places.) b. After 10 hours‚ how many bacteria will there be? c. When will there be 10‚000 bacteria? 10. A certain type of bacteria‚ given a favorable growth medium‚ doubles in

Livja Koka Anaerobic Bacteria In this experiment the purpose is to seek understanding between an organism and its use of oxygen. Oxygen is a very important part of the organisms’ survival. Oxygen has a tendency to form very reactive by-products inside a cell. These by-products create havoc by reacting with protein and DNA‚ thus inactivating them. Cells that are able to live in the presence of oxygen have evolved enzymes to cope with H2O2 and O2- and thus are not inhibited by O2. Also many anaerobes

Lactic Acid Bacteria Amanda Perry Many persons are oblivious to the fact that when they consume certain delicious food products like yogurt‚ buttermilk or cheese‚ they are actually eating live bacterial biomass which has acidified the milk content and contains a mixture of bacterial slime layers. Perhaps it is a blessing that most people are unaware because when most hear the word ‘bacteria‚’ their first thought is of a microscopic unicellular organism that causes various types of diseases especially

Identification of Microorganisms • For many students and professionals the most pressing topic in microbiology is how to identify unknown specimens. • Why is this important? • Labs can grow‚ isolate and identify most routinely encountered bacteria within 48 hrs of sampling. • The methods microbiologist use fall into three categories: ♣Phenotypic- morphology (micro and macroscopic) ♣Immunological- serological analysis ♣Genotypic- genetic techniques Dr.T.V.Rao MD 2 Microbe Identification

Did you know‚ food poisoning has increased dramatically in the last ten years? This makes it much more important for vigilance by food businesses. Since 1965 the cases of food-borne illness has increased from 20‚000 to just short of 100‚000 now. There has been no single reason identified to why this number has increased‚ but this could be because of: Changes in eating habits‚ a greater reliance on re-heated food. Eating out is much more popular now‚ so more people are aware of food hygiene‚ therefore
