Trice Riddle Mrs. Jennifer Sikes English 1020 11 February 2009 The Unknown Continent Many people know about it and have seen it on maps before but they still do not pay attention to detail or really care. People still say today that it is a country but it is a continent made up of countries. Many people describe it as the “dark continent” because it has not developed enough to be like an Asia or the Americas. Its hard to really discover what Africa is and how to define it. The land is rich

There are many reasons for identifying an unknown bacterium. The reasons range from medical purposes‚ such as determining if the unknown could cause ailments in living things or knowing what microorganisms are needed to make antibiotics to other purposes such as knowing the exact microorganism has to be used to make certain foods. This experiment was done by applying methods in order to identify an unknown bacterium. An unknown bacterium was handed out by the lab instructor. The methods that

What does the blood agar select for? Blood agar allows distinction among bacteria based on their ability to lyse red blood cells (hemolytic activity). 2. What color is the blood agar? Blood red color. 3. What are the 3 types of blood agar results and how can you recognize them? Beta hemolysis‚ which is the complete

Gut bacteria Gut bacteria are bacteria that are located in the gut. The gut is considered as any part of the gastrointestinal tract. The gastrointestinal tract includes the stomach‚ mouth‚ oesophagus‚ and duodenum. The gastrointestinal track has many different parts and each part contains different bacteria.There are 100 trillion bacteria present in the human body‚ most of them can be found within the gut and others can be found in the mouth‚ skin surface‚ urogenital tract and nose.

Material Appendix B – Identifying Bacteria Bacteria identification is accomplished in a number of ways. Two common tools microbiologists use to identify unknown bacteria include dichotomous key and biochemical tests. The dichotomous key is useful when a microbiologist only needs to know which group an unknown microbe belongs to on a general level. When a microbiologist needs to identify a specific bacterium‚ biochemical tests are used. PART ONE: GENERAL BACTERIA IDENTIFICATION Review the dichotomous

but diversely distinctive by the specific way they accomplish that means‚ hence all the different classifications. It was in the year of 1888 that the studies of two German scientists‚ Hellriegel and Wilfarth‚ proved that it was the root nodule bacteria that provided nitrogen to their host plants. The next year‚ Frank (1889) published the nodular symbiont under the name Rhizobium leguminosarum‚ and it has remained to this day. These studies brought to light the importance of rhizobia and leguminous
