Quorum Comparitive Lab Report

Decent Essays
Bacteria differentiates when it's alone and when it's part of a community by talking. Their method of conversation is composed of chemical language. This process begins as bacteria creates and stores molecules. When they are alone, these molecules become uninterested and float away. However, when bacteria form molecules in groups, the extracellular amount of the molecules increases. When the molecule reaches a certain amount, it informs the bacteria of its neighbors. With this information, all the surrounding bacteria react and perform the task of converse. This process of conversation is called Quorum

By comparative analysis of biochemical tests that were performed throughout the semester to find out its characteristics and determine the identification of bacterium out of four potential unknown was given. To figure out the characteristics, T-streak was performed to isolate the sample from broth to a Tryptic Soy Agar plate, along with an additional slant in case something wrong with the original plate that can possibly affect the result.…

    Interactive Question 7.2 Cite some experimental evidence that indicates that membrane proteins drift. A good form of experimental evidence is Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching, aka FRAP. In the FRAP process, membrane proteins are labelled with a green fluorescent protein, and part of the plasma membrane is “bleached” with a laser, causing them to lose their fluorescence. The part that was bleached will eventually become fluorescent again, as molecules drift in by diffusion.…

    Caulobacter Crescentus is a dimorphic, α-proteobacterium found in oligotrophic environments. Their dimorphic cell cycle produces two morphologically and functionally different daughter cells, known as the stalked cell and the swarmer cell. The stalked cell remains anchored to the substratum and is sessile, while the swarmer cell is motile. Upon chemotaxis, the swarmer cell disperses in search of nutrients. Once sufficient nutrients are located the cell cycle can continue.…

    The experiment was conducted to test the effectiveness of one’s ability to balance and walk on a 2x4 platform that is approximately 332cm or 11ft long, while blindfolded. It is known that vision impairment is associated with poor balance. We predicted that the subjects that were blindfolded will have poor balance and will not be able to walk very far on the 2x4 platform. In this experiment we had a total of eight (8) test subjects.…

    Purpose: The overall goal of this lab was to perform a procedure on E. Coli which involved transferring genes that encoded for the green fluorescent protein into E. Coli to see if the transferred genes would make a difference on the growth and whether or not the bacteria would glow under UV light. Hypothesis: If the bacteria with the pGLO plasmid was grown on a plate containing LB and ampicillin then the bacteria will grow but not glow under UV light. If the bacteria with the pGLO plasmid was grown on a plate containing LB, ampicillin, and arabinose then it will be able to grow and glow under UV light. If the bacteria without pGLO plasmid was grown on a plate containing LB and ampicillin then it will not be able to grow or glow under UV light.…

    In this equation, x and y denotes the number of moles of RE and Mn atoms per formula unit of the structure, respectively. The RE and Mn represent the theoretical magnetic moment of trivalent free RE3+ ions and divalent Mn2+ ions respectively. The experimental values of total magnetic moments were found to be smaller than the calculated values (Table xyz). The crystal field effects can lead to lower value of magnetic moments for RE3+ ions in these compositions as compared to free RE3+ ions, which in turn could lower the total magnetic moment of these compositions. This discrepancy in the total magnetic moment values could also be due to the presence of secondary phases in these samples.…

    Conclusion: The experiment has showed how some bacteria have become extremely versatile and able to live in many environments and how other have not changed much over the course of time. It has showed how use of sugar, growth based on enzymes, and ability to ferment as well as motility can help us identify multiple bacteria and distinguish them from each other. This will be useful to come in the Isolating and Identifying Bacteria project since we have already isolated and observed the bacteria the information learned in this lab gives us ways to test and observe our bacterial cultures so we can compare results back to our data and attempt to properly identify them. Real world implications of this lab show how difficult it is to obtain growth in a lab at times and how tedious it can be, but also provides a database of sorts to look back upon to help study bacteria and identify which ones cause illness, where they can be found, how to test for them to prevent illness and contamination and possible ways to fight them knowing what they need to survive and what defenses and attributes they…

    The aim of this experiment was to determine the percentage composition of magnesium and oxygen in magnesium oxide and evaluate if the composition varies or remains constant. To test this, magnesium was heated and made to react with the oxygen gas in the atmosphere. This reaction formed the ionic compound, magnesium oxide. The percentage composition was later calculated based on the results of the experiment as shown in the above calculations, Figure 4. These results were compared to the expected percentage composition also calculated in calculations, Figure 1.…
