Bottle A Case Study
The bacteria were re-suspended by transferring 10-12 mL of bacterial growth media (Bottle A) to the dried bacteria (Bottle B). The Bottle B was covered with Aluminum foil and roughly mixed for 30 seconds. 100 μL from bacterial suspension transferred to a new bacterial growth medium (Bottle A). The suspension was mixed by inverted and incubated at 37◦ C overnight for 8-12 hours. The density of bacterial cells was measured by spectrophotometer at OD600, which was around

    To grow the bacterial culture, use 10 ml of liquid LB growth media for incubation. 500 ml of the bacterial culture is allowed to grow overnight at 37°C. It is later shaken vigorously to increase the OD600 to 0.5, which means that time equals zero. At time zero, 1 mL of the culture is transferred into a 1.5 mL centrifuge tube and centrifuged for 5-10 minutes to obtain a pellet. The supernatant should be discarded. The centrifuge with the bacterial pellet is labeled “G0” and stored at -20°C. The culture is induced with 1 Mm of IPTG and allowed to keep growing. After 3 hours past induction, 1 mL of the culture is pelleted into a different 1.5 mL centrifuge tube, and the bacterial pellet is labeled “G3.” The centrifuge with G0 bacterial strain needs 15 mL of the strain to be collected and to be pelleted into the centrifuge tube. The last pellet is labeled “G3-15 mL.” Finally, both the G3 and G3-15 mL are to be stored at -20°C.…

    The second step is to select the appropriate medium for the specified microbe. In this experiment we will use a liquid broth medium for both cultures. The first is MRS culture medium, which contains polysorbate, acetate, magnesium and manganese to promote growth for lactobacilli. The second is nutrient medium, which is the standard growth medium for most microbes. It contains heat stable digestive products of proteins called peptones and beef broth to promote bacterial growth.…

    To construct liquid cultures of bacteria, 6ml of King’s B medium was added to a 25mm test tube. In a microcentrifuge tube, a single colony of the corresponding strain was inoculated into 200μl of medium. 10μl of the cell suspension was taken and inoculated into the 6ml of medium and vortexed, which served as the final microbial liquid culture. The static cultures were incubated at 30oC, apart from the conditions in Rainey and Travisano at 28o C, and were observed after 3 and 5 days of growth, often yielding the formation of a biofilm at the liquid interface of each culture (Rainey and Travisano, 1998). The production of biofilms in liquid microbial cultures and colony growth on agar plates allowed for the contrast and comparison of SM cells, WS+ and mutations that…

    The possible identity of the unknown organisms in the mixed culture was limited to bacteria that we had worked with previously in lab. Initially a Gram stain was conducted in order to distinguish the unknown bacterium as a Gram-positive and/or a Gram-negative organism (Lancaster and Bennett, 2012; Kellenberger, 2001). Based upon the results, both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria were observed in the unknown mixed culture (Table 1 and Table 2; Kellenberger, 2001). In order to isolate the two different bacteria, colonies that grew on the MSA were used to inoculate Gram-positive tests, where as MacConkey Agar colonies were used to inoculate Gram-negative tests.…

    DISCUSSIONIn the first part of the lab, since the effect of moist heat treatment on bacterial spores wasbeing investigated, the spores from Bacillus stearothermophilus was used. Using the three testtubes with spores, the first one (1) was autoclaved, the second (2) was boiled, and third (3)received no treatment. The fourth test tube (4) didn’t have a spore strip and served as a controlfor the effectiveness of the aseptic pipetting technique. As hypothesized, test tubes 1 and 4experienced no bacterial growth. Because tube 4 had no spore strips, it was predicted that nobacterial growth will be observed; had there been a presence of bacteria, it would mean that therewas some contamination during the pipetting process. It can consequently be said…

    Spore suspension of Bacillus pumilus was inoculated into universal bottles containing sterile distilled water in water baths at temperatures of 85°C, 90°C and 95°C. At specific time intervals, a sample was removed and spread on nutrient agar plates. The number of colonies formed was used to determine the D-value and z-value. The D-value for 85°C is 64.1 minutes, 25.7 minutes for 90°C and 8.2 minutes for 95°C while the z-value is 11.2°C.…
