Lab Report A differential staining procedure used in microbiology is called the Gram stain. The significance of the Gram staining procedure is that it differentiates the bacteria into two groups. The Gram reaction of a bacterium adds valuable information for the treatment of disease. The Endospore stain is a special stain that is used to determine the presence of endospores in bacteria. This stain is used to detect if certain bacterium cell contain highly opposing spores within their vegetative

necessity to be admitted to a health care facility along with the administration of an antibiotic may result in a Clostridium difficile infection (CDI). The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of a CDI, including an overview of the microbiology of Clostridium Difficile (C- diff), as well as the epidemiology, pathophysiology, signs, symptoms, treatment and prevention of the infection. In 2011, there was an estimated 450,000 cases of Clostridium difficile infections in the United States

It is common in the field of microbiology for scientist to need to quantify bacteria. A way to do this is via the production of CO2. Carbon dioxide can be produced as a byproduct of cells performing regular respiration and decomposition activities. For microbes to live and grow successfully they need an adequate source of carbon. The microbes can either produce this source themselves making them autotrophic or receive the carbon from and outside source making them heterotrophic. Without a proper

gross.” I can’t make this up! Sorry, Landon, not quite. Lyme disease is a rather increasing epidemic, not only in Iowa but also in great numbers on the east coast states. Throughout this paper, I will be discussing what Lyme disease is, the microbiology of Lyme disease, how one can get it, the typical signs and symptoms, typical treatments, and some epidemiology of this bacterial infection. Like we established earlier, Lyme disease is not what makes limes gross but in fact, Lyme disease is a

late nineteenth century. Louis Pasteur was famous for his discoveries using basic knowledge of microbiology (Robinson, 2009). He created the pasteurization process, thought flexibly to improve medical treatments for disease, and illuminated the world by opening possible discoveries for treatments of illnesses. The discovery of Pasteurization in the nineteenth century metamorphosed the world of microbiology. Louis Pasteur was brought to fame due to his discovery of pasteurization in 1864. The purpose

Trench, The Unmanned Submarine ‘Aishiteru’ collected several water samples that were highly concentrated with unknown microbial communities. Therefore our team need to figure out how the water samples should be transported to the nearest advanced microbiology laboratory to be analyzed. The microbes have to be survived during the long journey. The Mariana Trench is located in the Pacific Ocean which is east of the 14 Mariana Islands. The Mariana Trench has an 11”21’ North latitude and 142”12’ East longitude

days. Determination of microbial population is among the most fundamental procedures in microbiology and the quantitative determination of microorganisms is critical especially in food microbiology procedures to ensure safety of consumer. Numbers of potentially hazardous microorganisms from effects of the whole food product process can also be obtained from microbiological challenge testing or predictive microbiology. The current techniques which are widely used are viable count, total cell count and

Microbial Biotechnology Statement of Purpose Having pursued relevant projects, courses and considering my aptitude, I find myself interested in life sciences and more specifically in Microbiology. I believe that pursuing Masters in Microbial Biotechnology at North Carolina State University will help me to widen my knowledge, hone my technical and managerial skills and provides me an opportunity to contribute to cutting edge research in

MALDI-TOF mass spectroscopy (1, 3, 4) has been presented as a real outlook changing innovation in microbiology (2, 3, 4). Today it as of now is set up as the standard recognizable proof innovation for developed microorganisms in most clinical labs in Europe and in USA and Asian countries (3). MALDI-TOF MS has been extensively embraced by routine clinical microbiology research centres for bacterial species distinguishing proof (4). The major pros of MALDI-TOF of MALDI-TOF mass spectroscopy(1)
