Study of Bacterial Growth and Resistance Level to Certain Antibiotics INTRODUCTION Escherichia coli—better known as E. coli—is a gram negative‚ rod shaped bacteria. It is relatively harmless‚ but can occasionally cause food poisoning. It can also provide Vitamin K2. It prevents the establishment of pathogenic bacteria‚ and is associated with or found in the intestinal organ. The antibiotic that E. coli is resistant to is Penicillin. Bacillus subtilis—better known as B. subtilis—is known as

take place” (Lynch & Duval‚ 2011). This theory better known as "Locard’s Exchange Principle” is the foundation of the forensic study of trace evidence as we know it today. Trace evidence is very important in forensic investigations as this evidence includes different types of microscopic materials as well as some materials that are easily visible to the naked eye. Trace evidence examination is the analysis of small particles in order to assist in establishing a link between a suspect and the victim of

Advanced Food hygiene Assigment question 6 Non Bacterial Food Posioning Food poisoning can be caused by the consumption of food contaminated by substances other than bacteria. This can occur by contamination of the food by chemicals‚ the ingestion of poisonous plants and by eating fish or shellfish that have been feeding on poisonous plankton or living in contaminated waters. Several foods contain naturally occurring poisons. This is more common in plants; there are hardly any animals that are

Leading Change at Gene One University of Phoenix LDR/531 March 5‚ 2013 In 1996‚ Gene One entered the biotech industry with groundbreaking gene technology that eradicated disease in tomatoes and potatoes (UoP). As a result‚ farmers no longer needed to use pesticides when growing these plants and consumers were pleased to buy homegrown products untainted by chemicals (UoP). The win-win situation helped Gene One grow to a $400 million company in just

Many of the bacteria that cause common bacterial infection are mutating and therefore gaining resistance. This means that the original antibiotics that were once used to treat these common illnesses are becoming increasing ineffective. This resistance delays treatment as the original antibiotics are ineffective. This can lead to the disease worsening and even death. This means that common illnesses that were once easily treated by antibiotics are no longer so easy to treat. This results in increased

Week 8 Assignment 2: Gene Technology Introduction to Biology Mr. James Cox March 3‚ 2013 Gene technology is the term given to a range of activities concerned with understanding the expression of genes‚ taking advantage of natural genetic variation‚ modifying genes and transferring genes to new hosts. Gene technology sits within the broader area of biotechnology – the use of living things to make or change products. Humans have been using biotechnology for centuries

POLLUTION INTRODUCTION Pollution is the act of environmental humiliation and contamination with artificial waste. Air‚ water‚ and soil pollution is a serious complication‚ which affects everyone in the world. Some of the main causes of pollution is the lack of laws to new industries as well as a poorly educated society. Due to environmental pollution‚ the society has put pressure on the government to create and carry out diverse policies to the control of environmental pollutants. LAND POLLUTION

LABORATORY EXERCISE 8-A: Preparation of Bacterial Smear and Simple Staining I. INTRODUCTION Bacterial smears are prepared for the purpose of viewing microorganisms under the microscope. Visualization of microorganisms in the living state is very difficult‚ not just because they are minute‚ but because they are transparent and almost colorless when suspended in an aqueous medium. A bacterial smear is a dried preparation of bacterial cells on a glass slide. Smears may be made from a dry culture

Antibiotic Lab Report By: Sierra Toll Hour: 6 Title: The effects of antibiotics on the growth of Escherichia Coli Problem: How do antibiotics affect the growth of E coli? Hypothesis: If Penicillin is applied to the bacteria‚ then the zone of inhibition will be larger. Background: The purpose of this lab was to see how effective a certain antibiotic is to kill E coli. The lab tested three antibiotics‚ Penicillin‚ Erythromycin‚ and Neomycin. The zone of inhibition‚ which is the amount of space
