a. The bacteria that causes botulism are found in soil‚ water‚ animal guts and dung. When the spores exposed to low oxygen and certain temperature‚ they produce botulinum toxin‚ able to germinate‚ metabolize‚ food sources through an aerobic respiration to produce toxin. The toxin blocks the release of acetylcholine from motor nerve endings causing paralysis symptoms. The botulism either food born‚ eating contaminated home-canned foods where the fermentation takes place. or through abrasion in the

called gram stain is used in the identification of bacteria. Bacteria can be gram-positive‚ gram-negative‚ or gram-variable. Most bacteria however‚ are usually gram-positive or gram-negative. Gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria react differently to staining because of the differences in their cell walls. Bacterial cell walls contain a polymer called peptidoglycan. Gram-positive bacteria have more of this polymer than gram-negative bacteria. They are also less complex than gram-negative cell

Part 5: Indirect Staining: Examine the stained specimens and record your results. These were much easier to see‚ especially the plaque stain. I saw distinct chains of varying lengths made up of both cocci and bracillus cells. The messy matrix I noted earlier was no longer an issue. The cheek and yeast smear were also much cleaner
