Water memory Water memory is the claimed ability of water to retain a "memory" of substances previously dissolved in it to arbitrary dilution. No scientific evidence supports this claim. Shaking the water at each stage of a serial dilution is claimed to be necessary for an effect to occur. The concept was proposed by Jacques Benveniste to explain the purported therapeutic powers of homeopathic remedies‚ which are prepared by diluting solutions to such a high degree that not even a single molecule

This enzyme functions under specific conditions‚ so we investigated the effect different salt concentrations have on the enzyme activity. Serial dilutions were performed to prepare a lactase solution as well as twenty percent‚ fifteen percent‚ and five percent concentrations of NaCl. Three different treatments of ortho-nitro-phenyl-galactoside‚ lactase‚ and perspective salt concentrations were

3 Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) Minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) was performed to determine the loweest concentration of the extract that killed the bacteria. After the value of MIC was recorded‚ one loop of each concentration dilution were subcultured on BHI agar and incubated at 37°C overnight (Table 3). The MBC of methanolic extract of A.paniculata was 0.06mg/ml (Figure 3). 4.4 Time-Kill Assay Time-kill assay was carried out with S.aureus isolated. Viable cells counts

Microbiology Lab Quiz #2 Study Guide Exercise 9 -- The Gram Stain Compare and contrast simple and differential staining techniques. Simple Staining Simple staining is useful in determining the basic morphology of an organism. Simple staining involves only one reagent i.e. crystal violet‚ basic fuchsin‚ or methylene blue. Simple dyes used to stain bacteria have a positive charge cationic (+)‚ therefore‚ they are attracted to the bacteria that are usually negatively charged anionic (-) Depends

Introduction: Enzymes are biological catalysts that permit cells to carry out the many functions that are required in a living system. Every enzyme has a specific substrate and a specific function. Enzymes alter substrates one of three ways: by adding something to the substrate‚ removing something from the substrate‚ or by changing its conformation‚ otherwise known as its shape. The structure of an enzyme and its ability to function exists because it binds to an active site‚ thus increasing the
