Title: Microorganisms are everywhere. Tara Brady Dt201 Objectives: In this experiment‚ my aim is to prove that microorganisms are present everywhere and that nowhere in our everyday lives is free from bacteria. I expect this to be the case as even germicide soaps do not kill all bacteria present on our skin; likewise household cleaning products are incapable of killing all microorganisms present. I am doing his experiment to verify the concept that microorganisms are everywhere and I most certainly

31 October 2011 Identification and observations of Citrobacter Freundii Introduction Citrobacter Freundii is a species of bacteria that can be potentially harmful to humans. It is known to cause meningitis by protruding into the brain and replicating itself (1). The Citrobacter species has also been found as a cause of some urinary tract infections‚ diarrhea‚ and even gastrointestinal diseases and symptoms (3). C. Freundii can be located in a wide variety of soils and water (3). Lastly‚ it is

test‚ the initially slant for unknown microorganism #17 is important. For this lab‚ two identical slants are used for two reasons. Firstly‚ the slant can be used to make sure that there is no contamination from the Nutrient Agar plate. Secondly‚ the second slant will become a stock culture to prevent the shortage of slants during performing the series of tests. Kliger’s Iron Agar tests can be used to determine multiple characteristics of unknown microorganism #17. Kliger’s Iron Agar slants also contains

A microorganism (from the Greek: μικρός‚ mikros‚ "small" and ὀργανισμός‚ organismós‚ "organism") is a microscopic organism‚ which may be a single cell[1] or multicellular organism. The study of microorganisms is called microbiology‚ a subject that began with Antonie van Leeuwenhoek’s discovery of microorganisms in 1675‚ using a microscope of his own design. Microorganisms are very diverse and include all the bacteria and archaea and almost all the protozoa. They also include some members of the

My Points So basically‚ Ubiquitous Computing is a practice of enhancing the use of computers by making a lot of computers accessible throughout the physical environment but they’re basically invisible. In other words‚ it means getting computing off the desktop. Ubiquitous computing refers to a new genre of computing in which the computer completely permeates the life of the user. First were mainframe computers‚ which where shared by a lot of people. Right now we’re in the personal computing era

Unknown Microorganism: #5 Report Callie Schalk Microbiology Professor Quave November 24‚ 2015 The unknown microorganism #5 is Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It can survive in a variety of environments and at temperatures found in clinical settings (Murray et al‚ 1999). Clinical setting is referring to temperatures such as those in the hospital environment. P. aeruginosa can also survive in aqueous environments. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is found at several different sources. Nosocomial

Unknown Experiment Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is to distinguish and indentify an unknown bacterium. There are several tests that can help one eliminate and narrow down the options. The most useful test‚ and the very first one done‚ is a gram stain. This test will tell whether the bacterium is gram-positive or gram-negative. After the type of gram stain is identified‚ the tester has a wide array of differentiating tests at their disposal. Based on the results from these
