Title Antimicrobial properties in different type of plants. Introduction A substance that kills or prevents the growth of microorganisms for example bacteria‚ fungi or protozoans is called an antimicrobial. This substance has 2 major roles which are to either kill microbes (microbiocidal) or prevent the growth of microbes (microbiostatic). Disinfectants are antimicrobial substances used on non-living objects outside the body. This substance included antibiotics‚ antifungals‚ antiprotozoals and

Chloe Lindbom Regeneration of a Planarian Over Time Erin Davis Biology Mrs. Werfelman 5th Hour 10/09/2014 10/20/2014 Background: The planarian‚ also known as the flatworm‚ is a creature that live all over land‚ oceans‚ and freshwater. (Biggs‚ A.‚ Gregg‚ K.‚ Hagins‚ W.‚ Kapicka‚ C.‚ Lundgren‚ L.‚ Rillero‚ P.‚ 2002) The planarian has a threebranched digestive cavity. (Alvarado‚ 2004) Planaria range from 1/8 to 1 inch. (Alvarado‚ 2004) The planarian can be cut into many pieces and each piece will grow

Diffusion In Agar Cubes Is Bigger Better? OR Is Smaller Smarter? Adapted from Flinn Scientific Publication No. 10110 Introduction: Diffusion is one of the very important processes by which substances such as nutrients‚ water‚ oxygen‚ and cellular wasted are transported between living cells and their environment. This activity will help you explore the relationship between diffusion and cell size by experimenting with model “cells.” In this experiment‚ you will use agar cubes to which

3DIFUSSION IN AGAR CUBES – LAB REPORT Research Question: What is the effect of surface area on volume ratio on the rate of diffusion of pigment from the agar cube measured by percentage volume of diffusion over time? Background Research: Diffusion is the passive movement of molecules or particles along a concentration gradient‚ or from high to low concentration regions. Essential towards living organism’s functions‚ as it describes how the nerve cells are able to communicate with each other‚ through

Tetracycline and Chloramphenicol against Serratia marcescens By C. A. Bechdel Abstract The problem investigated was Serratia marcescens. We hypothesized that both Tetracycline and chloramphenicol will be effective against treating S. marcescens. The experiment was conducted with a single control group and two experimental groups. The experiment was replicated 8 times. The experiment showed that in testing the control group S. marcescens‚ chloramphenicol had a mean death zone of 30.9 mm +/- 2

investigated compounds were dissolved in DMSO at 10 and 20 mg ml-1‚separately [19‚21‚25‚27‚34]. Nutrient agar was prepared‚ then sterilized in an autoclave and poured in sterile Petri plates. After cooling of nutrient ager in Petri plates‚ the studied organisms were grown on agar. After that‚ the sterili Paper discs of Whatman saturated with solution of investigated compounds were placed in the agar by working holes using a sterile crook borer. These Petri dishes were incubated for 24 h at 37oC [25]

grew in many different ways. There were many different results in every bacteria that was examined‚ no bacteria looked alike towards one another. The bacteria in order to be produced it need to be put nutrient agar that would nourish it. The bacteria were inoculated into the nutrient agar so it can grow to be observed to view the results. Introduction Bacteria have been always around but us humans can’t see it with naked eye. Bacteria can be both harmful and good depending what type of bacteria

Effect of Molecular Weight on the Rate of Diffusion of Potassium permanganate (KMNO4)‚ Potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7) and Methylene blue ¹ ABSTRACT The effect of molecular weight on the rate of diffusion was determined using the Agar-water Gel Test. One drop of potassium permanganate (KMNO4)‚ potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7) and methylene blue were used. Each substance has a respective molecular weight of 158 g/mol‚ 294g/mol and 374 g/mol. The diameters (in millimeter) were measured
