The purpose of the following study is to determine where the two unknown bacteria acquired in Microbiology lab should be classified in regards to temperature‚ pH level‚ and osmoregularity. It is important to classify bacteria in order to identify them. Identification of bacteria is important because they are not only useful but potentially dangerous as well. The identification of bacteria can lead to breakthroughs in healthcare regarding treatment of old and new diseases alike. Identifying bacteria

What is a genetically modified organism? A genetically modified organism (GMO) is an organism whose genetic material has been altered using techniques in genetics generally known as recombinant DNA technology. Viruses‚ bacteria‚ fungi‚ plants‚ and animals are all examples of organisms that have been engineered so that they contain genes from at least on unrelated organism. To create a genetically modified organism a molecule from a different source are combined into another molecule to create

Do you really know what is in the foods you eat? Most likely not. You probably have never heard of the words genetically modified organisms. It is time to open your eyes to this silent problem that is occurring right now. Genetically modified organisms are in the foods we eat and are ultimately making people sick. Research has shown that consuming genetically modified foods increases your risk for getting cancers and tumors. The only way to avoid it is to eat organic which is not always affordable

Diversity in Living Organisms (Science) |Close X | |[pic] Classification And Evolution Classification refers to the identification‚ naming‚ and grouping of organisms into a formal system based on similarities in their internal and external structure or evolutionary history. It determines the methods of organizing diversity of life on earth. Therefore‚ classification helps in understanding millions of life forms in detail. Who started the classification of organisms? Let us explore the history of

ingest. Genetically modified organisms are seen as being either unnatural and detrimental‚ or beneficial and healthier. Genetically modified organisms can be found in the majority of food products and crops. Genetic alteration in crops is when scientists clip a gene from the DNA of one plant and splice it into the DNA of another. (Smith 2). This alteration is what causes the characteristics in plants to be changed. The market for genetically modified organisms has increased dramatically with

140 Matthew Tuthill Unknown Lab Report Introduction There are many reasons for knowing the identity of microorganisms. The reasons range from 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 foods or antibiotics. This study was done by applying all of the methods that I have been learned so far in the microbiology laboratory class for the identification of an unknown bacterium. The purpose

Sabao BS Biology I-A .Lab 1 August 01‚ 2013 INTODUCTION A pond is a body of freshwater smaller than a lake. Ponds are naturally formed by a depression in the ground filling and retaining water. Streams or spring water is usually fed into these bodies. They can also be man-made ponds which can be created by damming a stream‚ digging a hole. Ponds are usually

I. Title Identification of an Unknown Plasmid In this experiment‚ we determined the phenotypic capability of an unknown plasmid along with its size. With the use of gel electrophoresis‚ we analyzed the gel photograph by using a standard DNA marker‚ Lambda HindIII‚ and came to a conclusion based on our results. II. Abstract Two experiments were done to identify an unknown plasmid. The success of these experiments came from the use of modern day technology involving gel electrophoresis

This study was done by applying all of the methods that have been instructed on thus far in microbiology laboratory class. Each test performed‚ provided us with some key information about the unknown microbes in question . The identification of unknown bacteria is a time honored part of microbiology courses. It will challenge
