Rebekah Worley February 21‚ 2012 Mitchell Section 4 Biol 311 Staining and Identifying Unknown Bacteria Introduction: The microbiology lab up to this point has been used to teach the students how to stain and identify bacteria. There are several types of staining through which the bacteria can be identified based on the color and shape. The staining methods used in the lab are Gram Staining‚ Capsule Staining‚ Endospore Staining‚ and Acid Fast staining. One of the most significant method of

Microbiology is a field of science which typically is divided into several areas such as: bacteriology‚ virology‚ parasitology and immunology. The goal of microbiology is to increase the specific knowledge of a known microorganism and by extension counter the spread of harmful microorganisms and to learn practical applications of research results. A microbiologist studies the structure‚ metabolism‚ genetics and ecology of microorganisms such as bacteria‚ viruses‚ fungi or algae. A microbiologist

During my time at the University of Wisconsin- La Crosse‚ it was there that I not only discovered my passion for microbiology; but it was where I became aware of my career goal‚ to be an educator at the university level. I am grateful for the many experiences and the motivation brought on by my peers and mentors‚ which I came across to realize and to bring to fruition my goals. I strongly believe that the education that I receive in conjuncture with the strong mentorship that the State University

A Basic Understanding of Microscopy Assignment 1 Kaplan University-Microbiology Since microorganisms are not visible to the eye‚ the essential tool in microbiology is the microscope. One of the first to use a microscope to observe microorganisms was Robert Hooke‚ the English biologist who observed algae and fungi in the 1660s. In the 1670s‚ “Anton van Leeuwenhoek‚ a Dutch merchant‚ constructed a number of simple microscopes and observed details of numerous forms of protozoa‚ fungi‚ and bacteria”

BACKGROUND PAPER ON ORIGINS AND DEITIES 1. When you think about the origins of Religion and Spirituality in American culture‚ a lot of different ideas‚ stories or parables come to mind. But one question is hardly ever asked or even thought of. Does American culture have a religion? More to the point‚ is there a religion that can solely be sourced to origins on American soil? The answer is yes. Both Mormonism and Scientology have roots deeply planted in American culture. However‚ around 25‚000 Americans

Microbiology and Process Analysis laboratory 25/10/2013 Group 1 Microbiology laboratory Abstract The lab exercises were divided into three different analysis; microscopy‚ soil microbiology and bacterial growth. The main aim of laboratory work with Escherichia coli and soil sample was to introduce students to bacterial growth in pure culture and soil microbial flora. The experiment of bacterial growth in pure culture using optical density

H1N1: The Sneaky Killer I chose to write my topic paper on the H1N1 virus. This virus has interested me since its reemergence in 2009. Its ability to change and adapt each time it shows up again attracted my attention. I hope to inform people about the virus along with the symptoms and how to go about avoiding it if you can‚ or treating it if you have it. This pandemic is avoidable through a simple vaccine that can be taken as a shot or as a nasal spray. Overall I find the H1N1 virus to be interesting
