Negative feedback

It seems that a lot of companies are realizing that replacement hiring is not the best option for long term quality employees. Companies are starting to realize the commitment level that employees are willing to give when they have companies that train and promote within. Succession planning looks within the company and finds its future leaders and manager from the ranks. The company will then send the selected employees through various training and developmental programs to get them ready…

Alex indicated that the reasons that Melinda was providing were inadequate to answer for the decreased performance. Upon those remarks, Melinda introduced another reason for her declining performance. She indicated her current position was granted to her because of her language and her cultural background that fitted the South Western region. Melinda cited her past exemplary performance from the last ten years and her qualifications to have warranted her a managerial position. She added that the…

with accuracy the unknown bacteria. II. Identification Bacteria are divided into Gram Positive and Gram Negative based on the chemical composition of the cell wall. Gram stain, a differential stain, can be used to identify the shape, arrangement, and chemical composition of the microorganisms. In the chemical composition of the Gram stain, we can identify the two types of bacteria: Gram-Negative Bacteria which has a thin peptidoglycan, lipopolysaccharide, phospholipid, and lipoprotein cell…

INTRODUCTION There have been multiple staining techniques before the Gram stain came about in 1883. These old staining techniques brought about issues because they stained both the tissue and the cells so it was hard to differentiate between the two. Christian Gram is the inventor of the gram stain and found this technique when he was looking at Streptococcus pneumoniae in the lung tissue of people and animals (1). When working with these tissues, he found that this bacterium would take up a…

positive bacterium, one Gram-negative paracolon, and one Gram-negative coliform (Carson, 2016). The unknown sample assigned in this experiment was #19. After initially streaking the solution on clean streak plates and TSA agar, the identity was determined from a Gram-stain of a single, isolated colony; this was confirmed by isolation of that pure colony and viewing the pure sample in a Gram-stain under a microscope yielding a blue colored cocci morphology with no Gram-negative contamination.…

2.0 INTRODUCTION Consumption of foods and beverages that do not have added preservative but able to have a longer shelf life has become very popular among the consumer. In order to improve the shelf life of a food product, adding natural food extracts that act as the antimicrobial are able to inhibit or supress the microbial growth (Martin et al 2009). Microbial growth, pH and the storage temperature are the important measure of the shelf life and quality of a food product (Fellers 1988;…

“See if you can guess what I am now … I’m a zit. Get it?” - Bluto Background: The purpose of the antiseptic lab was to show the effectiveness of multiple antiseptics: hydrogen Peroxide, Purell hand sanitizer, Water and Iodine. The procedure of the lab for the first day involved our group acquiring a cotton swab and using the swab to gather the Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) bacteria from various spots around our face, we then grabbed a Petri dish filled only with a thin layer of agar. We…

bactericidal. A positive reaction here would present visible bubbling. A negative reaction would be no reaction or no bubbles produced. Due to no bubbles being produced this leads us to our next set of tests to perform on the unknown. With this knowledge of a negative catalase test…

were performed that were specific to the gram- negative bacteria to start the identification process of the unknown. The results of the gram negative tests lead to the identification of the bacteria Alcaligenes faecalis. The gram stain procedure was the first test performed by isolating a colony from the pure culture streak plate. The gram stain was followed orderly right from the referenced laboratory manual. The test resulted to be Gram- Negative bacteria from the compound microscope which…

Throughout the course of the semester we have learned how different variables in an environment can affect the growth, change, and behavior of an organism. Using this research as a guide we set out to design an experiment that would show a particular variable’s effect on brine shrimp eggs. After much debate we decided to use light wavelengths as the variable being tested. We wanted to see the difference in development in the brine shrimp eggs and the development after hatching when…
