immediate threat to human health. [1] In this article we explore contamination from this particular strain of E. coli bacteria (O157:H7) and enteric viruses‚ their potential threats and how to test the water for such contamination. Bacterial Contamination Bacterial contamination of water is usually in the form of coliform bacteria. Coliform bacteria live in soil/vegetation and in the gastrointestinal tract of animals and humans. They thrive in warm‚ wet and dark places.

BACTERIAL TRANSFORMATIONS USING PVIB II. INTRODUCTION Transformation is the manipulation of a bacterial cell’s DNA in order to alter the cell’s genotype or phenotype by absorbing free DNA from its surroundings. In this lab‚ pVIB plasmid will be used. A plasmid is a segment of DNA that can incorporate itself into the bacterial DNA. Although is not required for growth of the bacterial cell‚ plasmids can provide advantages in stressful environments such as the ability to adapt as environmental

conducted to accumulate data on the growth of Escherichia coli (E. coli) and to monitor how it grows under certain conditions. It has been demonstrated that the levels of glucose and dissolved oxygen were found to affect the rate of growth of E. coli proportionally with a lack of oxygen resulting in the lowering of the pH. In this experiment the growth of E. coli was studied at constant temperature (37 0C) at which it grows ideally. Experimental results for the growth of Escherichia coli showed good

bacteria were obtained from various sources. Two bacterial colonies were isolated from plates that were incubated in the lab and these bacteria became the basis for this project. The bacterial cultures were maintained and used for various physiological‚ cultural‚ and biochemical tests and observations over several weeks. The purpose of culturing bacteria over half the course of the semester was to learn various techniques used in microbiology labs and to subsequently utilize those techniques for

Advanced Food hygiene Assigment question 6 Non Bacterial Food Posioning Food poisoning can be caused by the consumption of food contaminated by substances other than bacteria. This can occur by contamination of the food by chemicals‚ the ingestion of poisonous plants and by eating fish or shellfish that have been feeding on poisonous plankton or living in contaminated waters. Several foods contain naturally occurring poisons. This is more common in plants; there are hardly any animals that are

(Iodine) are an appropriate antiseptic to can kill a sample bacterial contaminant found in the local environment‚ and if so‚ which is the most effective? The purpose of this experiment is to determine the antibacterial effectiveness of Scope‚ Listerine‚ Bactine‚ and Iodine in relation to each other. Scope‚ Listerine‚ Bactine‚ and Iodine each are believed to be effective antiseptics: * Scope Mouthwash - Kills 99% of bad breath germs (in lab tests) http://www.scopemouthwash.com/scope-products/scope-mouthwash-original-mint

Introduction: Plant hormones and growth regulators are chemicals that affect flowering‚ aging‚ root growth‚ killing of leaves‚ promotion of stem elongation‚ color enhancement of fruit‚ prevention of leafing‚ and many other conditions. Very small concentrations of these substances produce major growth changes. All plants produce hormones naturally‚ and growth regulators can be applied by people to are applied to plants by people. Plant growth regulators may be synthetic compounds that mimic naturally

Bacterial Meningitis is a horribly life shacking disease. Bacterial Meningitis can be a very destructive disease it can leave people with horrible and lasting aftermath if survived but if not it could destroy the brain leaving it black and rotting. Bacterial Meningitis has many symptoms‚ ways of spreading‚ treatments and prevention for this horrible disease‚ and it’s very interesting history and how things about it changed.
