Title: Staining Introduction: Microorganisms are small and colorless‚ invisible to unaided eyes. When observing them under microscopes‚ we use various methods to make microbes apparent. One of the most important methods is staining. Staining techniques play an essential role in the studying of microorganisms; they help to reveal characteristics of microbes‚ such as their morphologies‚ sizes‚ arrangements‚ chemical components and many more. The purposes of the experiments are to be

difference between a gram positive bacteria and gram negative bacteria is the differences in cell wall composition. Prokaryotes known as eubacteria have three basic forms: rods‚ cocci and spiral. The bacterial cell wall is the single most important contributor to cell shape. In addition to shape of cell wall‚ presence or absence of flagellum‚ and if present‚ positions of flagellum‚ the eubacteria can be classified according to Gram Stain. First and foremost‚ gram positive bacteria are

Gram Stain: The important part of this experiment is being able to determine a bacterium based on its cell wall structure. It also helps indentify if the unknown organism is a Gram positive or Gram negative. This is the initial step that must be taken before any other lab procedure may continue on to ensure the purity is present‚ the arrangement of the cells‚ and the shape the cell has. The staining of the cell starts off with using the primary stain‚ Crystal Violet which is a purple color‚ to begin

and therefore necessary during cellular proliferation. The protein can be found in all phases of the cell cycle but not in resting cells. The Ki67 staining is used to determine growth of certain cell types and is therefore used on hyperproliferative cells such as tumor cells‚ but also in benign hyperproliferative diseases such as psoriasis. The staining reveals the proliferative active keratinocytes which can be found in stratum basale. Sept7-deficient mice receiving IMQ treatment (Fig S6. A) had

NAME: PRAJWAL BHARADWAJ Ampicillin‚ Vancomycin‚ and Tetracycline Effectiveness on Gram Positive and Gram Negative Bacteria. INTRODUCTION: Bacteria are microbial organisms which are present in various environments. Many bacteria are good and help humans synthesize materials and assist in biological processes‚ such as digestion. However‚ some bacteria can cause harmful diseases. When harmful bacteria infects the body‚ people take antibiotics in order to suppress bacteria. Different antibiotics have

Lab Practical One Report Unknown Bacteria Staining Gram Acid Fast Spore The first practical for microbiology was staining of an unknown bacteria. Professor Goode provided an unlabeled bacteria in which each individual were to conduct gram‚ acid fast‚ and spore staining tests from memory. When the gram staining test was conducted a positive results was obtained. When views on oil bacteria appeared purple and rod-like. I noted this result and looked at the lab key to see what the results narrowed

Purpose/Question being addressed: The purpose of this experiment is to determine which kind of drinks stain your teeth the most. The drinks that will be tested are tea‚ coke‚ and coffee. B. Research Facts/ Hypothesis: Research shows that the darker the drink is that you drink the yellower your teeth will become. Teeth are naturally white or off-white in color but build- up from foods and drinks such as coffee and tea over

Lab 4: Cell Structures and the Gram Stain Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to familiarize the student with the use of a compound microscope and the Gram Stain test. Students will review a brief video and slides to introduce the compound microscope. Students will also view a video about the Gram Stain procedure and then answer questions related to it. Hypothesis If I look at the slides I will see where the cell wall is and what lies inside it and in the Gram Stain if I watch the video I will

Title: preparation of films for staining Objective: to produce a thin smear of bacteria adhering to a clean microscope slide as preparatory to staining. Procedure: A. From broth cultures 1. Inoculating loop was sterilized using Bunsen burner and let to be cool before use it to obtain bacterial suspension from the tube. 2. The bacterial then placed in the center of the clean microscope slide. It also speared to produce thin films. 3. The films are set to air dry before wafting the slide gently

In the case of gram-positive bacteria‚ the cell wall is comprised of 60-90% peptidoglycan and is very thick. There are numerous layers of teichoic acid bound with peptidoglycan
