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

Investigating the Growth of P. fluorescens Biofilms at the Air-Liquid Interface and the Variations in Biofilm Integrity Abstract Pseudomonas fluorescens produces biofilms in a variety of environments‚ and in experimental situations has been shown to develop random mutations resulting in a phonotypical change in the resulting biofilm. One particular mutation resulted in the growth of a biofilm known as the Wrinkly Spreader‚ which produced a thicker‚ stronger biofilm that had a stronger attachment

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) Jessica Heinen Autry Technology Center Introduction The full name of MRSA is meticillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus. Staphylococcus aureus (also known as staph) is a common type of bacteria. It is often carried on the skin and inside the nostrils and throat‚ and can cause mild infections of the skin such as boils and impetigo. If staph bacteria get into a break in the skin‚ they can cause life-threatening infections‚ such as

Unknown Microorganism: #5 Report Callie Schalk Microbiology Professor Quave November 24‚ 2015 The unknown microorganism #5 is Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It can survive in a variety of environments and at temperatures found in clinical settings (Murray et al‚ 1999). Clinical setting is referring to temperatures such as those in the hospital environment. P. aeruginosa can also survive in aqueous environments. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is found at several different sources. Nosocomial

Osmosis 4/13/13 MLT1 Lab 9 Performed at Home Microbial Growth There are three types of environments in which cells are located which include isotonic‚ hypotonic and hypertonic. In an isotonic environment‚ the amount of water and solute are the same both inside and outside of the cell. As water drifts into the a cell‚ the same amount flows out creating a balanced environment both inside and outside of the cell. When there is a high level of

Introduction: Chemical methods of control: Antimicrobial drugs‚ involves the use of chemicals to prevent and treat infectious diseases. Pasteur and others observed that infecting an animal with Pseudomonas aeruginosa protected the animal against Bacillus anthracis. Later‚ the word “antibiosis” (against life) for this inhibition and called the inhibiting substance “Antibiotic”. As researchers found out more and more about these chemicals they were able to discover that antibiotics are chemicals

Phelps‚ Biology 205 MW 2:10pm. Unknown Organism Paper The unknown organism tested in the Mesa lab was collected from in between the toes of my puppy‚ Riley. The original culture grown consisted of dozens of visibly different organisms of varying colony colors and growth patterns. I chose to test a smaller‚ red colony for my experiments. Based on its gram reaction and oxygen requirements‚ the following tests were performed to reach my presumptive ID: Test Performed Result Gram Stain +
