2.1 Sanitation Methods There are Four Methods that conducted on the laboratories in order to detect the presence of microorganisms. There are Rodac Method‚ Swab Method‚ Rinse Method‚ and lastly Open Dish Method and it will be discussed in detail below. 2.1.1 Rodac Method The purpose of this Standard Operating Procedure is to describe a program that will adequately measure the efficacy of disinfection of Rooms and equipment in each laboratory‚ RODAC plates can detect the presence or absence of

Vocabulary words II: 1. Closed system - a region that is isolated from its surroundings by a boundary that admits no transfer of matter or energy across it 2. Undefined media - basal or complex media 3. Z-streak - is a technique used to isolate a pure strain from a single species of microorganism‚ often bacteria 4. Selective media – a growth medium or culture medium is a liquid or gel designed to support the growth of microorganisms or cells‚ or small plant 5. Differential media -are

Chapter 5 – Short answer a) Phosphorylation - the addition of phosphate to a chemical compound b) What are the 3 mechanisms of phosphorylation used by organisms? • Substrate level phosphorylation – ATP is generated when a high-energy phosphate is directly transferred from a phosphorylated compound (substrate) to ADP • Oxidative phosphorylation – electrons are transferred from a group of organic compounds to a group of electron carriers (NAD+ and FAD); occurs in inner mitochondrial

Major concepts to review for Exam 1: 1.) know the elements of life – and how the reduction and oxidative of some of these drive bioenergetics 2.) Know the general time line for biology and evolution on the Earth; What major events altered evolution especially in terms of microbially driven changes 3.) Carl Woese – what did he contribute? What kind of biological molecules are best to generate phylogenetic trees‚ and why? How does this compare to enzymes? 4.) What defines a species (formal definitions)

REVIEW SHEET‚ EXAM 3 Chapter 6‚ Nutrition and Microbial Growth Define the four major modes of nutrition in microorganisms and distinguish among them in terms of energy and carbon sources The four major modes of nutrition are: 1. Photoautotrophs: (ex. Plants‚ some protozoa‚ & alegae) -microorganism which use carbon dioxide as a carbon source and light energy from the environment to make their own food. 2. Chemoautotrophs: -microorganism which uses carbon dioxide as a carbon source and

Introduction The Gram stain is one of the most useful staining procedures in microbiology . It is one of three differential staining techniques‚ is used to identify divide bacteria into two groups: Gram-positive bacteria and gram-negative (Madigan‚ Martinko‚ Dunlap‚ Clark (2009). These staining reactions take advantage of the fact that cells or structures within cells display dissimilar staining reactions that can be distinguished by the use of different dyes (Brown 2009). A gram positive bacteria

In addition‚ Gram and Gramps also helped Sal accept her mother’s death. Within the book‚ on page 143 Gram says to Sal‚ “Sometimes you know in your heart you love someone‚ but you have to go away before your head can figure it out” (Creech 143). I can infer‚ that Gram was trying to explain to Sal that her mother didn’t leave because of her‚ but to clear her mind. Gram saying this to Sal was important for Sal’s knowing that her mother didn’t leave because of the baby that died before birth. Along with

Microbiology is the branch of Biology that deals with the study of microorganisms and how they influence or work with other living organisms. (Satellite Events Enterprises Inc.‚ 1999) In this paper I will discuss the history of Microbiology and specifically the early theory of spontaneous generation. I will discuss three spontaneous generation experiments and explain why it is obsolete in today’s science. History of Microbiology Since Microbiology is the study of microorganisms‚ it is understandable
