The Effect of Acetyltransferases on 2 different strains of E. coli Introduction Scientists have recently discovered that resistance to antibiotics may not be such a new thing. Evidence of bacteria samples in Canadian permafrost proposes that these resistances have been around for at least 30‚000 years (Luiggi 2011). In our required pre-lab reading‚ we learned tuberculosis is becoming increasingly drug-resistant‚ giving proof that bacteria can adapt to necessary changes in order to survive (Barry

To remove excess water from Toby the young Border Collie‚ Firstly run the palms of your hands along the coat like a squeegee‚ then firmly but gently rub Toby all over his body with a towel. When the towel is wet switch to another towel‚ and rub him again paying particular attention to his ears and legs. Then with a small moist towel or flannel wipe away any remaining debris from his eyes. The reason you do this is because the towels‚ especially a micro-fibre one soaks up most of the water‚ so enables

Extraction and Analysis of Plasmid DNA from E. coli Cells Introduction A plasmid is an extra-chromosomal element‚ often a circular DNA. Since a plasmid is by definition an extra-chromosomal element‚ it cannot make use of any origin of DNA replication in a chromosome (BP site). Meaning that DNA synthesis within a plasmid depends on having an origin of DNA synthesis of its own. Plasmids are often found in bacterial cells‚ in which they are used as transfer agents for transmitting various antibiotic

Introduction: Chemical methods of control: Antimicrobial drugs‚ involves the use of chemicals to prevent and treat infectious diseases. Pasteur and others observed that infecting an animal with Pseudomonas aeruginosa protected the animal against Bacillus anthracis. Later‚ the word “antibiosis” (against life) for this inhibition and called the inhibiting substance “Antibiotic”. As researchers found out more and more about these chemicals they were able to discover that antibiotics are chemicals

The purpose of this report is to explain the process and steps used to identify a certain microorganism referred to as the unknown. Materials and Methods A test tube with an unknown microorganism will be retrieved. Once the test tube is retrieved‚ a steak for isolation will be completed in order to produce

Introduction In this experiment‚ the growth of four cultures‚ which are Escherichia coli‚ Staphylococcus aureus‚ Saccharomyces cerevisiae (yeast) and Penicillum (mold) were examined under a range of acidic to alkaline environments to determine the pH requirements of the four species. By conducting this methodology‚ the range of acceptable pH limits‚ including the optimum pH for each organism‚ can be determined. The range of pH over which an organism grows is defined by three cardinal points: the minimum
