Bacteria are the most numerous type of microorganism found in the rhizosphere of the soil. They produce secondary metabolites which are capable of producing antibiotic which eventually inhibit or kill bacteria. The rhizosphere region of the soil is a highly favorable habitat for the proliferation‚ activity and metabolism of numerous microorganisms. The magnitude of this area depends on the plant and the size of the roots that the plant possesses. Bacteria are among the microorganisms living in the

Bacterial Smears Are Fixed before Staining to? Answer It is important to heat fix the bacterial smear before staining so as to‚ kill the bacteria‚ firmly adhere the smear on to the microscopic slide to prevent washing off during staining‚ and to allow the sample to readily take up the stain. Reference: www2.hendrix.edu What is the purpose of heat- fixing the smear? It helps the cells adhere to the slide so that they can be stained. The purpose of heat fixing is to kill the organisms without

Methodology By using aseptic‚ a little cultured bacteria was inoculated on the TSA agar. A quadric streak was making. Inoculation loop was heated and keep it cold for a while before the next quadratic streak. Six agar plates were observed for 24 hour at temperature of 30ºC. Choose one from the dense colony and make a sub-culture on the new agar plate. The step was repeated to get a single colony‚ which is pure colony. a) Sequestration of bacteria from fish organs Methodology Dissecting set

computers‚ but they usually cause computer and networks performance stability problems. A computer virus is a program or piece of code that is loaded onto your computer without your knowledge and runs against your wishes. Viruses can also replicate themselves. All computer viruses are man-made. A simple virus that can make a copy of it over and over again is relatively easy to produce. Even such a simple virus is dangerous because it will quickly use all available memory and bring the system to a halt

Judson Cotterman III 4/6/2012 Section 185-35L Assignment #3 Gram-positive Pathogenic Cocci Discussion My original hypothesis for the individually collected throat culture on Blood Agar Plates‚ that it would show a mixture of alpha‚ beta‚ and gamma hemolysis‚ was based on the results of the class control samples of S. pneumonia‚ S. aureas and S. epidermis. In these controls S. pneumonia shows alpha and beta hemolysis while S. aureas and S. epidermis showed beta and gamma hemolysis respectively.

Microorganisms can be prokaryotic—the bacteria or eukaryotic—the algae‚ protozoa or fungi. While viruses are acellular they are also studied in the scope of microbiology because they are small and because they infect cells. While most bacterial are unicellular they can also exist in colonial or multicellular forms. In this laboratory exercise you will examine the ubiquity and diversity of various microbes that are present in the environment or inhabit the human body. Most bacteria that inhabit the body are
