The Occupational Characteristics of Microbiology

Escherichia coli, and Proteus vulgaris that were used in the lab, as well as comparing and contrasting the actual and factual results. Its unique pink rod shaped morphology was the first step observed under the microscope to identify its unknown characteristic. There were other methods utilized in lab as well: the Mannitol Salt and Eosin Methylene Blue Agar and the tryptic soy broth experiments. Oxygen reaction (aerobic vs. anaerobic), glucose fermentation, oxidase reaction, the catalase test, urea…

the microorganism was identified as Enterbacteriaceae Enterobacter aerogenes. INTRODUCTION Microbiology is a specialized area of biology that places an emphasis on microorganisms. Several microorganisms are included in this subject, such as bacteria, fungi, algae and protozoa. The most important fact that should come out of microbiology is the “profound influence” that microorganisms have on the aspects of earth (Cowan, 2012). The objective of this project was…

Contributors to Microbiology Pioneers of Microbiology I. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek (Oct. 24, 1632- Aug. 30, 1723) A. In 1676 Leeuwenhoek saw tiny organisms in water, he was the first man to observe and describe bacteria accurately. He discovered microscopic nematodes, blood cells and sperm. He also made over 500 microscopes to view specific objects. B. Microbiology is concerned with the study of all forms of life that are too small to be seen with the naked eye. Antonie’s work…

Introduction to Microbiology – Case Study 1 Kristen Alejos You are working as an emergency room nurse in Topeka when a mother brings in her 8 year old son because of severe, bloody diarrhea. When questioned, the boy said that it hurts when he goes to the bathroom and his mother said he had vomited in the previous two days. When asked about their previous movements, the mother and son both mentioned a backyard barbeque that had taken place 6 days earlier. The boy complained that his mother…

TITLE Lab #4 Soil –vs- Water Microbiology INTRODUCTION There are 4 learning goals for this lab: 1. Collect samples and compile data from at least 2 sources (soil; water) of your choice. 2. Identify at least 2 Prokaryotes (bacteria) and 2 Eukaryotes (fungus) in your samples. 3. Research the importance of bacteria and fungus to Earth in a non-medical context. 4. Compile a high-quality, 3+ resource (excluding the lab worksheet), MLA-cited in-text laboratory report using the scientific method…

configure the data is described on Blackboard (2). Results PCR amplification of the community DNA product was unsuccessful. There was no evidence of PCR amplified DNA on the gel (Figure 1.1). An alternate gel from Molecular Microbiology Laboratory was used as a model to perform gel electrophoresis of the community DNA (2). A plot of migration distance vs. size that includes the Invitrogen ladder can be used to determine the size of the PCR amplified community DNA (Figure 1.2)…

Lahela Correa 12/08/2009 Microbiology 140 Matthew Tuthill Unknown Lab Report Introduction There are many reasons for knowing the identity of microorganisms. The reasons range from knowing the causative agent of a disease in a patient, so as to know how it can be treated, to knowing the correct microorganism to be used for making certain foods or antibiotics. This study was done by applying all of the methods that I have been learned so far in the microbiology laboratory class for the identification…

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…
