Pseudomonas and identifying it using phenotypic properties and DNA sequencing as an existent or completely new and undiscovered species of Pseudomonas. Overview: Genus Pseudomonas is a chemoheterotrophic bacteria found in soil and water. They are Gram negative‚ motile‚ paired rods that are also oxidase-positive. Pseudomonas species are well known for their ability to metabolize many different organic nutrients‚ allowing them to be viable in multiple‚ diverse conditions. The Pseudomonas organisms

2.1 Bioreactor configuration: Stirred tank bioreactor is a cylindrical vessel. The semi-circle bottom of the cylindrical vessel was made of stainless steel with an internal diameter of Ti=8 inch‚ outside diameter 10 inch and height of vessel 24 inch giving it a 3:1 height to diameter ratio for the working volume (Group et al.‚ 2006). The experiments were performed in batch conditions at different temperature‚ pH and atmospheric pressure. The liquid phase was deionized water (28± 0.5°C). Filtered

1. Introduction Microscopy is an essential technique not only in cell biology but natural science as a whole. We compared different types of microscopic techniques ‚ according to the specimen used and the scope of the experiment. Two specimens‚ stained and unstained‚ containing CHO cells‚ were prepared‚ examined and analyzed under the microscope using bright field (HF)‚ dark field (DF) and phase contrast (PH) settings. In addition‚ the four phases of cell division cycle were estimated.. Bright

apples‚ and papaya. To achieve the most favorable result‚ the prescribed procedure of making wax was exactly followed by weighing the components to the desired proportions-2000:100:50 [2000 milliliters (m1) coconut water‚ 100 ml cooking oil‚ and 50 grams (g) bees wax]. The components were then mixed‚ cooked‚ and cooled. Results show a significant difference in the duration of fruit freshness‚ with the fruits treated with coconut water wax retaining freshness for the most number of days. INTRODUCTION

identified using a method called Gram staining‚ whereby a stain is used to differentiate different types of organisms. Bacteria with and without a cell wall are classified as Gram-positive or Gram-negative‚ respectively. Bacterial types vary by shape and size. Coccus Coccus refers to spherical shaped bacteria that may live as individual cells‚ or pair up to form chains or bunches. Staphylococcus and Streptococcus are the most common bacteria in this group and usually are Gram-positive. These bacteria perform

battery of tube tests and plates designed to lead to identification of two unknown bacterial species‚ from the combination of all results. A sample of bacteria was used‚ labeled “Sample 4”‚ from which both species was to be obtained‚ one gram positive and one gram negative. Table 1 is a list of the possible bacteria to be identified; the basic ideas and practice of identification of an unknown sample of bacteria are important for a microbiologist to develop. Not only is proper procedural practice

PICRIC ACID (DIRECT DYE): Take about 60 mL of water in a 400 mL beaker. Add 2-3 drops of concentrated sulphuric acid and about 0.5 g of Picric Acid to it. Stir the solution with a wooden stick and warm over a hot water bath. Immerse one piece of each wool‚ cotton‚ polyester‚ nylon and terecot into it. When the pieces are thoroughly wetted in dye solution remove these with the help of forceps. Wash these with the help of warm water till the washing is colourless. Dry the pieces and note the results
