Methodology

By using aseptic, a little cultured bacteria was inoculated on the TSA agar. A quadric streak was making. Inoculation loop was heated and keep it cold for a while before the next quadratic streak. Six agar plates were observed for 24 hour at temperature of 30ºC. Choose one from the dense colony and make a sub-culture on the new agar plate. The step was repeated to get a single colony, which is pure colony.

a) Sequestration of bacteria from fish organs

Methodology

Dissecting set was prepared and soaks it in a beaker that contains 70% alcohol. Took a fish and put it in a dissecting tray. The alcohol was sprayed on the fish surface. The scrapple was sterile and cut along the fish abdomen. Then, using the sterile scissors, cut to the inside to expose the fish organs. Beak the kidney to took the tissue sample by using the inoculation loop. The streak was made on the TSA medium with 2% NaCl. After each streak, the inoculation loop need to heated. The plate was keep for 24 hour at temperature of 30ºC for colony growth.

b) Sequestration of bacteria from shrimp Methodology

Dissecting set was prepared and soaks it in a beaker that contains 70% alcohol. Took a shrimp and put it in a dissecting tray. The alcohol was sprayed on the shrimp surface. The carapace was pulled out by using sterile forceps. The hepatopancrease location was specify and took half of it using inoculation loop. The streak was made on the TSA medium with 2% NaCl. After each streak, the inoculation loop need to heated. The plate was keep for 24 hour at temperature of 30ºC for colony growth.

c) Sequestration of bacteria from bivalve

Methodology

Dissecting set was prepared and soaks it in a beaker that contains 70% alcohol. Took a cockle and put it in a dissecting tray. The alcohol was sprayed on the cockle surface. The cockle was opened by using knife. A little tissue was taken from the meat by using inoculation loop. The streak was made on the TSA

    To grow the bacterial culture, use 10 ml of liquid LB growth media for incubation. 500 ml of the bacterial culture is allowed to grow overnight at 37°C. It is later shaken vigorously to increase the OD600 to 0.5, which means that time equals zero. At time zero, 1 mL of the culture is transferred into a 1.5 mL centrifuge tube and centrifuged for 5-10 minutes to obtain a pellet. The supernatant should be discarded. The centrifuge with the bacterial pellet is labeled “G0” and stored at -20°C. The culture is induced with 1 Mm of IPTG and allowed to keep growing. After 3 hours past induction, 1 mL of the culture is pelleted into a different 1.5 mL centrifuge tube, and the bacterial pellet is labeled “G3.” The centrifuge with G0 bacterial strain needs 15 mL of the strain to be collected and to be pelleted into the centrifuge tube. The last pellet is labeled “G3-15 mL.” Finally, both the G3 and G3-15 mL are to be stored at -20°C.…

    Native material processing. When the “live counting” procedure used, pick out each enumerated specimen from counting chamber (e.g. Bogorov’s counting tray) under a stereomicroscope using a micropipette and squirt it into a concave slide, embryonic dish or watch glass half-filled with Bouin’s fixative. NOTE. A live counting usually takes a long time, because it requires the pre-identification of certain species in a living state under high magnification of a microscope. To prevent the fixative fluid from drying or crystallising, hold the concave slide in a Petri dish with moist filter paper on the bottom, or cover embryonic dish with a…

    The streak-plate method is an example of a solid dilution technique. Bacteria are obtained from a mixed culture with a sterile loop or wire and diluted within three sectors on a petri dish containing appropriate growth medium. After incubation, as a result of this dilution technique, individual colonies of microbes can be obtained. Each individual colony represents…

    Dissecting scissors or scalpels will be used to cut open the frog's abdomen. To cut open the frog's abdomen with either dissecting scissors or a scalpel. Forceps and Dissecting Probe To remove or push parts of the frog out of the way in order to view all the organs contained in the lesson plan. Forceps or tweezers allow to pull things out of the way, and grasp parts for cutting. The dissecting probe serves to push organs aside without damaging them. Dissecting Tray and Paper towels Dissecting trays keep the mess contained, and provide a surface on which to cut and stick dissecting pins.

    On November 14, 2012, Rita Bernstein visited Bergen Community College to talk about Escherichia Coli O157:H7. Escherichia coli or better known as E.coli is a tube-shaped bacterium that is found in the stomachs of warm-blooded animals. O157:H7 is a member of the E.coli family, which produces shiga toxin, and are capable of producing bloody diarrhea. E.coli O157:H7 attacks red blood cells, it interrupts flow of oxygen, and it breaks down walls of vessels.…

    The purpose of this experiment is to obtain isolation of individual species of particles from the mixed culture. This is completed through the isolation technique of streak plate. The objective of this experiment is to replicate the technique of streak plate but on a much larger scale. Because it is on a larger scale the particles are able to be visually observed as they are isolated using the streaking technique as the experiment is conducted. The benefits of the streaking technique is when a cultures has multiple species they are able to be more easily identified once they have been isolated. This experiment is much like the experiments completed on an agar plate but on one a much larger scale and where techniques can be perfected before the use of agar plates and specimens are used. Because this experiment uses materials that represent those used in the streaking on agar plates the ability to simulate the events that occur when streaking is similar and allows for visualization instantly.…

    There are several different medical reasons for identifying microorganisms. The reasons may vary from having to know the causative agent of a disease in a patient to be able to treat and care for them properly, to knowing the correct microorganism to be used for making certain antibiotics as well as proper dosages, down to knowing all microbes associated with consumed foods such as plants and animals in case of an allergen or a contamination outbreak. This analysis was done by utilizing all of the proper methods taught thus far in the microbiology laboratory for the identification of two unknown bacteria.…

    Having the ability to collect and identify unknown microorganisms is vital in health and medicine. This capability is important for a variety of reasons, such as knowing the causative agent of disease, knowing if the microorganism obtains any beneficial properties and knowing the correct microorganism to use to create a successful antibiotic. Implementing the experimental methods learned thus far in the microbiology laboratory allowed an unknown bacterium to be identified as a result of this study. This study allows the student to exercise their ability to use and understand sterile techniques, transmission, and prevention of microorganisms.…

    Preparation of the sample is critical to maintain cell morphology, tissue architecture and the antigenicity of target epitopes. This requires proper tissue collection, fixation and sectioning. A solution of paraformaldehyde is often used to fixate tissue, but other methods may be used. The tissue may then be sliced or used whole, dependant upon the purpose of the experiment or the tissue itself. Sections can be sliced on a variety of instruments, most commonly a microtome or cryostat and are…
