Bacteria‚ such as Vibrio natriegens‚ are single cellular‚ microscopic microorganisms. Bacteria grow by cell division‚ mainly by a process called binary fission‚ where two cells arise from one single cell (Madigan et al.‚ 2015). In bacteria such as Vibrio natriegens‚ who are curved-rod shaped microorganisms‚ they elongate to almost twice their own size and form a dividing wall in which splits the single cell into two daughter cells (Madigan et al.‚ 2015). There are four phases to bacterial cell growth:

Identification of Unknown Report Abstract: The purpose of this lab was to determine the identity of an unknown bacteria slant culture. The unknown was identified using differential tests to determine its metabolic and morphology characteristics. Results from the differential tests indicated that unknown culture 5 is Staphylococcus aureus. Introduction: The purpose of this lab was to determine the identity of an unknown bacteria slant culture using a series of differential tests. The tests

Introduction: Identification of bacteria is significant because they are not only beneficial but potentially hazardous as well. The identification of bacteria can lead to breakthroughs in healthcare regarding treatment of old and new diseases alike. In addition‚ Identifying bacteria can furthermore be utilized in various other areas to 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 producing certain foods

French Fries vs Bacteria Introduction After the Chipotle scandal of having E. Coli‚ I wondered what other bacteria can possibly be on foods that we consume. In addition‚ eating my french fries the day after I bought it‚ I wondered how long it could be until there was bacteria growing on the french fries. These two experiences in the last few months triggered me to become interested in what bacteria is and how harmful it can be. In order to do this investigation‚ one must study various types of french

Requirements for Unknown Report You have been provided a mixed culture (a gram positive and a gram negative) from which you should have isolated each type of organism‚ described their colonies on a TSA plate‚ and described their cellular morphology. You were graded on this activity separately. After you have isolated your gram negative in pure culture you will be subjecting it to various biochemical tests and making observations about the cells‚ colonies‚ growth temperature preferences‚ etc. in

Bacteria Lab Write-Up Jianna Liu P8 Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to find out which substance‚ alcohol‚ antibacterial soap‚ water‚ or hydrogen peroxide‚ is the best at preventing the growth of bacteria. Hypothesis: Antibacterial soap will be the best because soap is a substance that people use to wash their hands because it takes away the germs. Even the name‚ antibacterial soap‚ suggests that it fights off bacteria. Hydrogen peroxide is second because it is used
