Concept explainers

Virus

Viruses are infectious microscopic agents that can only reproduce in live cells of animals, plants, or microbes and are smaller than bacteria. Vertebrates, invertebrates, plants, protists, and fungi are among their many hosts. Viruses are unable to multiply on their own due to the lack of necessary cellular machinery, but they can guide the cell machinery of a host to make additional viruses by infection. The virus enters and attaches to a particular host cell, injects its genetic material, and reproduces by using the host’s genetic material. Viruses cause infection by taking entry into the host cell and using the host cell’s enzymes and raw materials to multiply.

Question

1. Please discuss how Gram-Positive and Gram-Negative Cell walls are different from each other. What makes them distinct? How can they be tested and what observations will show from this?

2. You have two microorganism samples and trying to determine characteristics they contain. You determine sample M requires an environment found in a hot spring. While sample P requires rat liver cells to survive. Based upon this information please classify what type of sample M and P are. Provide the term to each and define in detail. (hint for sample P: Q Fever)

Imagine a microbiologist performed a series of Gram stains but forgot to perform the destain step during the stains. Which type(s) of erroneous results would the scientist observe? Cells that are actually gram-negative would appear gram-positive Cells that are actually gram-positive would appear gram-negative Both gram-negative and gram-positive cells would appear to be the opposite
start with the results of your Gram Stain. In the spaces labeled appearance& observations, indicate what you see. For instance, "red, long, rod-shaped cells." Under Results indicate the correct term that goes along your observation. For the gram stain, it is sufficient to write the word "positive" or negative in this space.
1. You accidentally used safranin as the primary stain and malachite green as the counter stain during a spore staining procedure. Explain how your microscopic observation would differ from those observed when slides of spore-containing bacteria were prepared correctly. 2.One of your classmates performed a gram stain on Pseudomonas aeruginosa and found variable gram staining, with only some of the cells gram positive. What should your classmate have found? What errors could have contributed to the variable result?
