MICROBIOLOGY What is the purpose of general growth media‚ selective media‚ and differential media? Give examples of each. General Purpose Media General Purpose media is designed to grow most organisms and do not contain growth inhibitors. Standard Methods Agar and Blood Agar Bases are examples of general purpose media. Differential Media Differential media contain a component that allow an observable change when a specific chemical reaction takes place. Simmons Citrate Agar is an example

Experiment 2: Microscopy & Simple Staining September 30‚ 2013 General microbiology laboratory The invention of the microscope has opened up a whole new dimension in science. By using microscopes scientists were able to discover the existence of microorganisms‚ study the structure of cells‚ and see the smallest parts of plants‚ animals‚ and fungi. Today‚ the microscope is still a commonly used tool to diagnose illness in hospitals and clinics all over the world (1)

SCOPE OF MICROBIOLOGY: What is Microbiology? | � Microbiology is the study of microorganisms� Microorganisms‚ roughly‚ are living things that are too small to be seen with the naked eye� Microorganisms cannot be distinguished phylogenetically from �macroorganisms� (see variety of microorganisms‚ below)� Microbiology is more a collection of techniques: aseptic technique‚ pure culture technique‚ microscopic observation of whole organisms‚ etc.� Microbiologists

Microbiology is the study of living organisms that are too small to be clearly seen by the unaided eye. The science of Microbiology dates back only to 200 years‚ yet the recent discovery of Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA in 3000 year old Egyptian mummy reminds us that microbes have been around for much longer. Infact‚ Bacterial ancestors were the first living things to appear on Earth. The First observations: One of the most important discoveries in the history of Microbiology occurred in 1665

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
