could achieved of which different products to test for my concluding idea. The type of bacteria that I am going to discuss and chosen is E-coli. I will also going to research the effectiveness of antibacterial cleaning products‚ for instance sanitizer. I will also‚ research which is the most effective product for the house hold and some other work places. Background Information What are Bacteria? Bacteria are found in: soil‚ radioactive waste‚ water‚ plants‚ animals‚ deep in the earth’s crust

empirical method to distinguish the species of bacteria into two groups Gram-positive and Gram-negative based on the physicochemical properties of the cells. First‚ a smear was prepared by use a sterile transfer loop that been flamed to removes some bacteria from slant agar and placed on the slide; mixed with one drop of water and let air dried. After dried‚ heat fixation the slide by passed the slide over a flame quickly 2-3 times to stick bacteria to the slide. Next‚ the smear was sequence covered

A bacteriophage (informally‚ phage) is a virus that infects and replicates within bacteria. The term is derived from ’bacteria’ and the Greek φαγεῖν phagein "to devour". Bacteriophages are composed of proteins that encapsulate a DNA or RNA genome‚ and may have relatively simple or elaborate structures. Their genomes may encode as few as four genes‚ and as many as hundreds of genes. Phage replicate within bacteria following the injection of their genome into the cytoplasm. Bacteriophage are among

September 23‚ 2012 Introduction: Bacteria are everywhere. Some can be seen with the naked eye and some require a microscope but how do we distinguish one kind of bacteria from another? To answer this question‚ we were required to complete three bacterial labs that helped us to understand what microorganisms are and how to identify and classify them. Thus‚ the main purpose of this project is to identify our unknown microorganisms‚ more specifically‚ our unknown bacteria. There are many ways to distinguish

There are three types of microorganisms that cause food spoilage -- yeasts‚ moulds and bacteria. Bacteria are round‚ rod or spiral shaped microorganisms. Bacteria may grow under a wide variety of conditions. There are many types of bacteria that cause spoilage. They can be divided into: spore-forming and non-spore-forming. Bacteria generally prefer low acid foods like vegetables and meat. In order to destroy bacteria spores in a relatively short period of time‚ low acid foods must be processed for the

Report Microbiology Introduction Bacteria can be found almost anywhere. For human life‚ some help us‚ some hurt us‚ and others are neutral. It is now known that good bacteria‚ or normal microflora‚ can reach 1014 microbial cells. This is far more than the 1013 cells that make up the human body (Tannock‚ 1995). The total number of bacteria on Earth is estimated to be around 4-6 x 1030 (Horner-Devine‚ 2004). It is important to know the extent of bacteria‚ how they live‚ and how they are transmitted

plasmid when it enters. To start‚ three Petri plates containing agar are needed. On each plate there is a control group and a treatment group; the treatment group being the one with the plasmid. Before the plasmid is put with the E. coli‚ first the bacteria are “stressed out” by warming them up in a hot water bath and cooling them down very rapidly in ice. The first plate consists of Luria Broth (LB)‚ the second plate consists of LB and the antibiotic ampicillin (amp)‚ and the last one contains LB‚

Rithika: We can test our hypothesis on the cleansing power of antibacterial soap by using both petri dishes and testing the amount of bacteria on our hand before and after using the soap. We will be able to calculate the amount of colonies of bacteria by using the petri dishes. Calculated the difference between both samples will help us to see whether the antibacterial soap will really help us to defeat more bacteria than the regular soap. If the hypothesis is correct‚ what would you predict the outcome of the test to be

The efficiency of ruminants to utilize such a wide variety of feeds is due to highly diversified rumen microbial ecosystem consisting of bacteria (1010–1011 cells/ml‚ representing more than 50 genera)‚ ciliate protozoa (104–106/ml‚ from 25 genera)‚ anaerobic fungi (103–105 zoospores/ml‚ representing five genera) and bacteriophages (108–109/ml)1. These numbers might even be larger as majority
