evaluate the information obtained from these techniques‚ and ability to effectively communicate the information. There are many reasons for knowing the identity of microorganisms. The reasons range from the knowing the causative agent of a disease in a patient‚ so as to know how it can be treated‚ to knowing the correct microorganism to be used for making certain antibiotics. This study was done by applying all of the methods that have been learned so far in the microbiology laboratory class for

management relies on certain microbes to degrade organic material‚ under controlled conditions. This is an example of a catabolic reaction‚ in order to treat waste water. The second example is cleaning and odour control of tiles‚ wood or concrete. The microorganisms penetrate the cracks in the above mentioned materials‚ using the grease/spills as a food source and removing them. Third‚ bioaugmentation is used in surface cleanup and remediations which involves cleaning materials such as asphalt‚ concrete‚

Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION A.] BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY Waterborne diseases are defined as one of the most dangerous diseases that can be found on flowing water. These diseases are very harmful not only to our digestive system but also to all of the parts of our body. These diseases can kill many people that are drinking water on the tap water and mostly on the drinking fountain; people might drink on a drinking fountain which is dirty because of the different people that are drinking and spiting

The development of resistance is a natural process in microorganisms‚ and is increased by various factors like use and misuse of antimicrobial agents in humans and animals. The inadequate availability of

1. A. Define antimicrobials. a. Anti means against and opposite to‚ antimicrobials means that they are agents that kill and are against microorganisms to stop their growth. They are agents that are used to slow their growth and then kill the microbes that are the leading cause of an infection. The microbes are to stop with the growth and more reproduction of the organisms such like bacteria‚ fungus‚ viruses‚ and parasites. 2. Do all bacteria respond the same to a given antimicrobial?

In the lab‚ we use a Biological Media to aid in growth reproduction. Also referred to as a culture medium‚ a Biological Media is a substance used to support the growth of microorganisms. The two types of media most commonly used in Microbiology are selective media and differential media. Selective

An infection tends to show symptoms and may spread through the whole of the body. Colonisation is when germs are within the body‚ but do not make the person sick. People who are colonised will have
