· Taxonomy ○ Science of classification ○ Provides an orderly basis for the naming of organisms and for placing organisms into a category (taxon) ○ Makes use of and makes sense of the fundamental concepts of unity and diversity among living things ○ Basic principle is that members of higher-levels groups share fewer characteristics than those in lower-level groups * Escherichia coli - rod shape and have a Gram-negative cell wall * Even members of the same species display variations

Effectiveness on Gram Positive and Gram Negative Bacteria. INTRODUCTION: Bacteria are microbial organisms which are present in various environments. Many bacteria are good and help humans synthesize materials and assist in biological processes‚ such as digestion. However‚ some bacteria can cause harmful diseases. When harmful bacteria infects the body‚ people take antibiotics in order to suppress bacteria. Different antibiotics have different ways they suppress bacteria‚ and the efficacy of antibiotics depends

Abstract: Bacteria consists of a large domain of prokaryotic microorganism in which can fight of antibiotics allowing the bacteria to become antibiotic resistant. In this lab report‚ we discover the most effective disinfectant that would work best in killing the harmful bacterial strain‚ Bacillus subtilis. KB testing or disc diffusion antibiotic sensitivity testing is measured through the diameter in millimeters to find how resistant the antibiotic to the bacteria. The hypothesis of Windex fell correctly

30 February 2014 Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria: What is it‚ how to prevent it and who it affects? In the United States alone‚ about 23‚000 people die from antibiotic resistant infections yearly. It is also one of the top 15 most dangerous illnesses in the country (United States House of Representatives). Antibiotic resistance is when bacteria develops a different response to an antibiotic that is its ancestor bacteria. Slight changes in bacteria enable the antibiotic to work and successfully

some people see bacteria as something that is harmful and that causes nothing but illness and infections. Bacteria can actually be helpful as well. It can provide vitamins to your body‚ help digestion‚ destroy bad organisms‚ help make medicines and also help out with the environment. In this research paper‚ it will describe two bacteria that are helpful and sometimes harmful to humans and the environment‚ which are E. coli and Lactobacillus Acidophilus. E. coli E. coli is the bacteria that live in

They are E. coli‚ a gram negative bacteria and Staphylococcus‚ a gram positive bacteria. I prepared a heat fixed smear of both bacteria. First‚ I used crystal violet as my primary stain‚ put few drops of it on the smear and let it sit for 30 seconds.
