This analysis was done by utilizing all of the proper methods taught thus far in the microbiology laboratory for the identification of two unknown bacteria. An unknown labeled as number 3 was given out by the lab instructor. The methods that have been lectured and absorbed pertaining to identifying

While microbes are often viewed negatively due to their association with many human illnesses‚ microbes are also responsible for many beneficial processes such as industrial fermentation (e.g. the production of alcohol and dairy products)‚ antibiotic production and as vehicles for cloning in higher organisms such as plants. Scientists have also exploited their knowledge of microbes to produce biotechnologically important enzymes such as Taq polymerase‚ reporter genes for use in other genetic systems

Quantification of Microbes in Milk and Water Naomi Hall 10/20/14 BSC 381L H003 Group: Megan Baker‚ Katie Coe and Meagan Williams Abstract Coliforms are gram negative bacteria commonly found in the intestines of birds and mammals and are the most widely utilized indicators of fecal contamination. The purpose of this experiment was to test various water and milk samples for the presence of coliforms‚ specifically fecal coliforms. It was expected that fecal coliforms would be found in all

The exchange of ideas‚ cultures and goods also came with the exchange of microbes that started deadly diseases that killed many people who were unfamiliar to them. By the late 15th century‚ Native Americans spread across the Americas in communities and also lived in flourishing civilizations‚ the Aztec and the Inca empire. There were around 100 million Native Americans‚ 25-30 million lived in the civilizations. The people in the Americas had wild game where they almost diminished the quantity by
