catabolizing of fungal and bacterial amylase‚ as well as the optimal temperature needed for the enzyme to correlate with the bacteria and fungi. The enzyme’s break down within the starch was observed through different temperatures and time periods. The Starch was placed in both the fungal and bacterial amylase where they were then placed on spot plates. Through the iodine test‚ it was concluded whether the breakdown of starch occurred or not. The experiment

Killer at large: Antibiotic Resistance Remember that teacher who would make students use antibacterials on the way in and out of the classroom? Scientist and medical professionals have now realized that all antibacterials‚ antibiotics and antimicrobials are contributing to a large complication that may make it so no bacteriums can be killed. Since the creation of antibiotics in 1896‚ doctors and medical practitioners have been able to save hundreds of millions of

Purpose: Examine the role of the cell membrane in the cell by disrupting its function using temperature (Biology 107 Laboratory Manual 2014). This will improve the general understanding of optimal growing temperatures and the breakdown of the cell membrane Procedure: Betacyanin solution of a known concentration was diluted to create a dilution series‚ then placed in a spectrophotometer set to 525 nm. The absorbance of the dilution was used to create a standard curve for betacyanin. Discs of living

MLT1: ANTIBIOTIC SENSITIVE LAB Western Governor’s University When antimicrobials are used to treat an infection‚ the antimicrobial used is based on selective toxicity. Selective toxicity is when the agent selected kills or inhibits the bacteria without causing serious harm to the host. The agent must interact with a function or structure of the microbe that is not present or is very different from the host. There are two different types of antimicrobial agents: antibiotics and antimicrobial
