Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) is a way to measure the sensitivity of microbes to antibiotics or antifungals (antimicrobials). Organisms are tested for growth in various concentrations of antibiotic. This allows microbiologists to see which concentration (MIC) of antimicrobial will be effective against the pathogen. It also used for determining treatment for patients suffering from infections such as pneumonia‚ meningitis‚ endocarditis or osteomyelitis or managing the treatment of high-risk

surface water. Dry cell batteries contribute about 88 percent of the total mercury and 50 percent of the cadmium in the municipal solid waste stream. In the past‚ batteries accounted for nearly half of the mercury and over half of the mercury and cadmium in the municipal solid waste stream. When burned‚ some heavy metals such as mercury may vaporize and escape into the air‚ and cadmium and lead may end up in the ash. As one of the most ubiquitous crops in the world‚ the potato is poised to feed the

physical and atomistic one‚ by considering the random walk of the diffusing particles. In the phenomenological approach‚ according to Fick’s laws‚ the diffusion flux is proportional to the minus gradient of concentrations. It goes from regions of higher concentration to regions of lower concentration. Later on‚ various generalizations of the Fick’s laws were developed in the frame of thermodynamics and non-equilibrium thermodynamics. From the atomistic point of view‚ diffusion is considered as a result

Cell Surface Glycoprotein Receptor Analysis Using Concanavalin A Purpose: During this experiment we compared the hemagglutination reaction of control Con A solution at 2 mg/ml in Con A buffer with the hemagglutination reaction of your own purified Con A sample that you diluted previously at 2 mg/ml in Con A buffer. The purpose of this lab was to determine the strength of the reaction by performing serial dilutions on both the Con A sample and the control Con A sample‚ and determine through observations

Curing Salt / Prague Powder‚ Composition and Safety Issues Posted on August 24‚ 2010 by marvin A sausage is not a sausage without the curing salt. The same is true with tocino‚ it may look like it but taste will be different. Prague powder or curing salt is responsible for giving the processed meat product it characteristic flavor and color. Try to make tocino without prague powder. Drop me a comment‚ if you prove me wrong. It also function as preservative. A substance that kills spoilage bacteria

Erica Mitchell Mr. Vredenburgh Period 5 52/55 The Effect of Carbon Dioxide on Salt Water Abstract Background: The human population strongly relies on the oceans for food‚ transportation‚ recreation‚ climate regulation‚ and half of the Earth’s oxygen. These oceans‚ that we rely so heavily on‚ are becoming more acidic and less hospitable‚ making ocean acidification the world’s second most important atmospheric carbon problem. This carbon is released into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels

that the primary structure of a cell membrane is made up of a double layer of phospholipids molecules. The hydrophilic heads of the phospholipid molecules face outwards towards the water base solutions inside and outside the cell. The membrane is also made up of proteins‚ carbohydrate molecules‚ and cholesterol that form gates and pores‚ cell recognition‚ and stability. Active transport is used when a cell needs a substance to cross the membrane against its concentration gradient using protein carriers
