Unit 3. Assignment 1: Bacterial Growth Rates 1. Mediums that could be used to determine shigellosis include Btilliant Green Agar‚ and Triple Sugar-Iron Agar. Expected results in a confirmed case of shigellosis are as follows: Brilliant Green Agar – Isolated Shigella colonies which do not ferment lactose or sucrose and appear red or white in color with no growth to trace growth on the Agar plate will be present. Triple Sugar-Iron Agar – Presence of Shigella will manifest as a red slant with

located at the base of the brain from where it releases hormones that regulate several functions of the body – one being growth. Pituitary tumours can cause tissues to grow abnormally resulting in certain changes in facial appearance‚ enlarged hands and feet‚ headache and sweating – eyesight too can be affected; this condition is called acromegaly. If someone has excess growth hormone‚ they become excessively tall and become an acromegalic giant. About one in 20 people will have an abnormality in

Discuss whether economic growth solves the problems of scarcity. Scarcity is the situation where finite factor inputs are insufficient to produce goods and services to satisfy infinite human wants. Economic growth is defined as the increase in real Gross Domestic Product(GDP) through time. Growth occurs if there is an increase in land‚ labor‚ human capital and technology. The question on whether economic growth solves the problem of scarcity can be discussed using the production possibility curve(PPC)

although puberty has been historically associated with the onset of adolescent development‚ it now typically begins prior to the teenage years and there have been a normative shift of it occurring in preadolescence‚ particularly in females. Physical growth‚ as distinct from puberty (particularly in males)‚ and cognitive development generally seen in adolescence‚ can also extend into the early twenties. Thus chronological age provides only a rough marker of adolescence‚ and scholars have found it difficult

As many studies have told us that microalga is a promising organism for mass production of biomass and biofuel which are renewable and environmental friendly. Microalgae have a higher growth rate and productivity as compared to plants. Most microalga species are easily adaptable to climate changes and are not limited by seasonal culture‚ which also says that products of microalgae can be harvested daily. Microalgae can store many valuable products such as lipids and carbohydrate due to the high

Introduction There are a number of factors that can contribute to the growth of a population and these trends can be seen in a number of species. It is generally believed‚ from an ecological perspective‚ that populations will display either an exponential of logistic growth rate. If optimal environments are consistently maintained with no biotic or abiotic limiting factors (excess food‚ excess space availability‚ optimum climactic environment‚ no predation‚ etc) then a population will grow in

Vibrio natriegens‚ who are curved-rod shaped microorganisms‚ they elongate to almost twice their own size and form a dividing wall in which splits the single cell into two daughter cells (Madigan et al.‚ 2015). There are four phases to bacterial cell growth: the lag phase‚ which is a period where bacteria are maturing and adjusting to the environment. During this phase‚ RNA synthesis‚ production of ribosomes‚ enzymes and other molecules occur (Mullenger‚ 1973). This is followed by the exponential
