Determining pH Using a Red Cabbage Farnoosh Mazarei Food Microbiology April 22‚ 2011 Purpose: To test the pH level of many common household object by use of the juice from a red cabbage. Background: pH is the measure of the acidity or basicity of a solution. The pH scale ranges from 1 to 14 with 1 through 6 being acidic and 8 through 14 being basic; 7 is considered neutral. The use of the red cabbage‚ or red cabbage juice is because red cabbage can be used as an acid/base indicator

providers work more efficiently. One of these medical advancements would be a mutated E. coli. So how exactly can a mutated E. coli be an advancement? Well what scientist recently discovered is that this certain mutated bacteria actually will color urine to help diagnose medical diseases. So perhaps this mutated E. coli can make diagnosing certain issues a quicker process than before. One disease this E. coli mutant helps diagnose is diabetes. To elaborate on how this altered bacteria works

An Ode to E. Coli There is a natural human tendency to dismiss what we cannot see. This idea is based in evolutionary biology. Throughout most of human history‚ threats to our survival have been deadly predators . It is only natural then‚ that we should focus our concern on objects whose importance we can see. For this reason bacteria seem insignificant on the surface‚ its invisibility marking its lack of precedence as a threat. This is a misconception‚ because bacteria hold enormous power. It can

Microbiology Laboratory Report Identification of Unknown Bacteria 03/10/05- 04/01/05 Authors: Richard Hendricks‚ Jessica Prebish; NMU Abstract: Broth culture 16 was randomly selected by our group and subjected to qualitative tests for taxonomic identification. The culture did appear homogenous throughout the testing period and is currently retained by Northern Michigan University’s department of Microbiology. We suggest that culture 16 is an example of Escherichia coli. Background: Techniques

The Effect of Acetyltransferases on 2 different strains of E. coli Introduction Scientists have recently discovered that resistance to antibiotics may not be such a new thing. Evidence of bacteria samples in Canadian permafrost proposes that these resistances have been around for at least 30‚000 years (Luiggi 2011). In our required pre-lab reading‚ we learned tuberculosis is becoming increasingly drug-resistant‚ giving proof that bacteria can adapt to necessary changes in order to survive (Barry
