Inoculation

Paper 1 draft was reviewed by the Professor and a friend of mine; however, the focus of the reviews were drastically different and allowed me two improve my paper in two dimensions. On one hand, the Professor focused on the structure of my argument and the evidences to support my argument. Since the Professor knows the background information well, she was able to suggest improvements in conveying the author’s ideas and exploit weaknesses in my argument. For example, I would never have noticed…

Materials and Methods Inoculum source and preparation Cherry (Prunus avium (L.) L. cv. Bing) leaves showing symptoms of powdery mildew were used as a source of primary inoculum. Powdery mildew colonies were identified as P. Prunicola based on microscopic observation (Broun and Cook 2012). To produce fresh inoculum foliage of young cherry (Prunus avium (L.) L. cv. Black Tartarian) plants grown in the greenhouse were inoculated. To harvest inoculum, infested leaves were soaked in sterile…

epidermidis, three plastic inoculation loops, candle and lighter, three poured nutrient agar plates, a disposable cup, alcohol, paper towels, bleach, a permanent marker, gloves, mask, apron, and goggles. 3. Be sure to wash hands carefully with disinfectant soap and warm water. 4. Put on the gloves, goggles, apron, and face mask. 5. Wipe down all work areas with bleach. Then, fill the disposable cup half full with the alcohol and place it on the work area. Place the three inoculation loops…

determine the identity of two unknown bacteria, I performed a series of experiments over several days. To begin this process I created a dichotomous key that I utilized as a guide to perform a series of inoculations, while using both selective, and differential media. The series of inoculations eliminated bacterium based on test results until the correct bacteria were both positively identified. On day one of this process I received two bacteria, one labeled 7A and the other labeled 7B. I…

burner to sterilize the inoculation loop then streak unknown bacteria on to the MAC agar plate using streak plate technique referred from the lab manual in exercise 7. The MAC agar plate was then stored in the incubator at 37°C for about 48 hours until the next lab time. The second procedure in the biochemical tests of enteric bacteria was to inoculate the unknown bacteria into the BromoCresol Purple (lactose) broth using an inoculation loop, but before that the inoculation loop was placed above…

could possibly kill the patient by piercing something. In extension, other risks to robot assisted surgery include reactions to medication, breathing problems, bleeding, and infection (Zieve). As to be seen, some might see robotic surgery like inoculation and not do it while others like the new way of looking at doing surgery in a more efficient way. Robotic surgery is the new method of performing a laparoscopic surgery while using instruments attached to the robotic arm along with a camera…
