Dilution

method are the number of microbes per plate, the dilution factor, and the volume of liquid inoculated on the plates. The next method is the PetriFilm E.coli/Coliform, where microbes with the enzyme glucuronidase will form red colonies, while E.coli strains will produce blue precipitate due to the presence of beta-glucuronidase. Finally, the MPN procedure relies on multiple dilutions and replicates, because the calculation is based on the dilution factor, volume…

concentrations, of which there was a standard deviation of 1.3mg/mL and a standard error of 0.66mg/mL. These are relatively large values, perhaps indicating that there was error during the dilution of 1S. As the big increase in undiluted concentration is between 1S2 and 1S4, this indicates error in the dilution of 1S4 from 1S2. Using just the hand-drawn calibration graph to work out the concentrations of the diluted samples did not provide a very accurate result, so I also used the analysis…

called Escherichia coli, which is a gram-negative bacterium that is found living in the digestive tracts of humans and animals. In the lab, various steps were carried out to evaluate and analyze the selective mediums that were created after doing our dilutions. Additionally, the number of colonies forming was calculated from specific time periods to establish a valid growth curve for E. coli. The growth curve’s shape and length is determined by the genetics of the organism, growth medium, and…

Pepper, & Mountain Dew). The colas were diluted by 50 milliliters of water, which is the dilution coefficient. The dilution coefficient will later be used in order to calculate the true concentration of the colas. We than determined the transmittance and absorbance values of each individual cola as seen in Table 5. In order to calculate the concentration…

compressed medium is compiled by an acoustic wave, the other half under vacuum or dilute medium. Dilution is to reduce the density of the article, to the compression. As compression can be wavy (eg acoustic) travel, there are waves in the thin nature. General dilution wave relatively low pressure after the shock wave region. Rare wave grows over time (much like when the waves spread on the beach) in most gas dilution wave remains the same overall profile in the whole of the wave motion: it is a…

of their cash as possible into capital improvements, acquisitions, and other things that grow the company. Dilution The main disadvantage of stock options is that they dilute the profit per share of existing shares and the ownership of outside shareholders. Dilution is not beneficial to existing shareholders and decreases the price of individual shares. Companies must choose between dilution and buying back shares at market price to resell to employees at a loss. Excessive Risks Stock prices…

Methods This study compared the clinical isolates, containing varying levels of chitin, to the survival status and immune response of the patient that the cells were extracted from. To test whether the amount of chitin correlated with an increased ability of Cryptococcus neoformans to worsen human disease, the chitin levels of the clinical isolates were measured and analyzed with the clinical data for the patients. The findings of the study will contribute to the understanding of the…

Ultra-violet light is produced by high-energy wave frequencies just outside of the visible spectrum. This light energy can interfere with the bonds which comprise the backbone of DNA by exciting the electrons in these atoms—leading to conformational changes which cause base-pair bonds to be broken, shifted, or replaced, causing genetic mutations, or abnormalities in the typical phenotypic expression of an organism. The purpose of this lab was to understand more about ultraviolet light as an…

Homeopathy being about two hundred years old is a relatively new form of complementary and alternative medicine. Homeopathy is based on the principle that like cures like, which argues that if a certain substance given to a healthy individual causes the same symptoms as a disease then it will also cure that disease in ill individuals. Additionally, these illnesses are believed to be caused by nonphysical disease entities called miasms. Misasms are what homeopaths believe to be the root causes of…

1.0 Introduction 4-hydroxy-3methbenzaldehyde is the scientific name for Vanillin. What is vanillin? It is a substance that adds flavor to the special taste and smell in food. It is extracted from high quality beans (1). A specific solvent named ethanol can be used to extract vanillin. There are two types of vanillin namely natural vanillin and artificial vanillin. There is artificial vanillin in the market because natural vanillin is costly. Before a chemical experiment or process is carried out…
