Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The type of microbe that is most likely to be observed when observing a sample from a lung biopsy at 1000x.
Introduction:
Lung biopsy is a medical procedure of removing a sample of cells or tissues from an affected region of the lung and observing it under a microscope for any microbe or lung cancer. The sample is initially examined under a light microscope that can magnify the sample up to 1500x while using light as the source of illumination.

How is UV radiation a good type of control mechanism against microbial growth? Please explain what happens to the microbe and effects this control causes.
‘Practical techniques used to identify unknown microorganisms’
You should include the types of tests you would use and how to interpret the results. You do not have to include a step-by-step guide to each of the practical techniques, but rather information could include background, reasoning and/or expected results.
A microbiologist used the concept of enrichment culture to isolate aerobic and anaerobic nitrogen-fixing bacteria, sulfate-reducing bacteria, and sulfur-oxidizing bacteria. What kind of selective media could he haveused for isolating each of these four classes of microbes?

Objective: To screen three LAB (Lactobacillus plantarum, Pediococcus acidilactici, and Pediococcus pentosaceus) for antimicrobial activity against the foodborne pathogens Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella, and Escherichia coli. Methods: 1 ml of the pathogen was placed into a petri dish. Then, 15-20 ml molten tryptic soy agar (TSA) tempered to 50°C was added. When the TSA solidified, a loopful of LAB was spotted onto the agar. Plates were incubated at 35°C for 24 hours then the zone of inhibition was measured from the boarder of the bacterial colony to the perimeter of the clearing. Results: Questions: What is the independent variable? What is the dependent variable? Suggest a control for this experiment? What is the optimal temperature range for Listeria monocyogenes? Is monocyogenes a…arrow_forward
