is to determine where the two unknown bacteria acquired in Microbiology lab should be classified in regards to temperature‚ pH level‚ and osmoregularity. It is important to classify bacteria in order to identify them. Identification of bacteria is important because they are not only useful but potentially dangerous as well. The identification of bacteria can lead to breakthroughs in healthcare regarding treatment of old and new diseases alike. Identifying bacteria can also be used in many other

French Fries vs Bacteria Introduction After the Chipotle scandal of having E. Coli‚ I wondered what other bacteria can possibly be on foods that we consume. In addition‚ eating my french fries the day after I bought it‚ I wondered how long it could be until there was bacteria growing on the french fries. These two experiences in the last few months triggered me to become interested in what bacteria is and how harmful it can be. In order to do this investigation‚ one must study various types of french

Food Borne Illness - Salmonella Food Borne Illness - Salmonella Abstract There are many things in the world that can make a person sick. A lot of times‚ it is a simple matter of just being careless‚ or ignorant of the facts‚ that causes a person to get sick from the foods or animals that they handle. One type of bacteria that can be picked up from these bad practices is Salmonella. If left unchecked‚ or if action isn’t taken‚ then this bacteria has the potential to develop into an illness

Requirements for Unknown Report You have been provided a mixed culture (a gram positive and a gram negative) from which you should have isolated each type of organism‚ described their colonies on a TSA plate‚ and described their cellular morphology. You were graded on this activity separately. After you have isolated your gram negative in pure culture you will be subjecting it to various biochemical tests and making observations about the cells‚ colonies‚ growth temperature preferences‚ etc. in

1. Salmonella enteritidis is a gram-negative bacterium that causes food-borne illnesses‚ and is the most commonly known serotype of Salmonella. It is a constant problem because of the misuse of antimicrobials in farms‚ disease treatment‚ growth promotion in domestic livestock‚ and the increasing problem of antimicrobial resistance. Current research is being conducted with bacteriophages because they have been identified as a prospective alternative bio-control method to control Salmonella contamination
