1n this report there is information about the safety rules which we have to follow in microbiology lab during experiments and various safety precautions we take in labs. A microbiology lab requires a unique environment & special practice. Then this report contains information about various kind culture media and there preparation which is essential for the culture plating detection of various microorganisms and bacteria There is information about various kinds culture plating techniques…
In this article, foeniculum vulgare is assayed in vitro for antibacterial activity. They used 27 phytopathogenic bacterial species and 2 myropathogenic bacterial species. A significant antibacterial activity is determined by agar diffusion method and reported that foeniculum vulgare essential oil is useful for natural bacterial to control of bacterial disease of plant and seed mainly in organic agriculture. In day today life people used to smoking, poor diet maintenance…
The objective of work was to optimize, formulate, evaluate and compare the transdermal gel containing vesicle based: Transfersomes and liposomes, containing Ketoconazole, an anti-fungal bioactive. Ketoconazole loaded Transfersomes were prepared using thin film hydration method with different concentration of surfactant (Span80, Tween80, and Sodium Deoxycholate) and soya lecithin and characterized for various parameters including Vesicles Size, Morphology, Entrapment Efficiency, Drug Loading…
P. aeruginosa is a gram-negative non-sporulating bacillus that belongs to the phylum of Proteobacteria. It can adapt and thrive in different niches, ranging from water/soil to plant/animal tissues. Even though it is commonly found in the environment, it frequently causes infections in plants and animals (1). Luke (1862) was the first to report P. aeruginosa in infections as he observed rod-shaped particles in blue-green pus of some infections. This coloration is a hallmark of P.…
The lab instructor issued out a test tube labeled with letter ‘I’, which consisted of two unknown bacteria, Gram-positive or Gram-negative that were streaked from a pure culture. Sterile techniques were followed while performing precise instructions as stated in the referenced Laboratory Manual. Example 1: The first procedure performed was done by isolating a pure culture from the mixture onto a solid Trypticase soy agar (TSA) media. Sterile technique was done by flaming the loop until it…
S. aureus was first isolated by Alexander Ogston. Ogston described the bacteria, which he isolated from pus collected from surgical wounds, as micrococci (Thomer et al., 2015). This description was given because of the sphere-shape of the bacteria and the grape-like clusters that they form. After Ogston’s discovery, Friedrich Rosenbach differentiated between two staphylococci bacteria, which were isolated from humans (Thomer et al., 2015). These bacteria were named S. aureus and S. albus. This…
Bacteria They are formed by a single rudimentary cell. They have no nucleus or plastids, but chromatin. Some have assimilators pigments. They are on earth, water, and air, and can generally move. They may be causing disease and therefore are called pathogens. Those that do not cause disease are called saprophytes. In some cases, they are even useful, as in digestive processes or synthesis of vitamins. By the way, they are called coconuts when circular; bacilli if they have the form of rods;…
Civil Rights Then & Now Reflection Essay Many will ask what civil rights is, in other words Civils Rights : is the right of citizens to political and social freedom and equality. Civil Rights come from the federal legislation or the federal court decisions. Certain states usually pass their own civil rights laws. If you can remember parts of Martin Luther King Jr. speech you would be able to recall that he tend to speak upon economic freedom and poverty. Many will come to think that…
Cream may have the potential for use as a probiotic carrier because it provides an excellent environment for probiotic bacteria, with the added advantage of having nutritional value.Fatty Acids composition in fermented synbiotic cream, containing one of the two probiotic bacteria ( Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei ) and inulin (0,1.5, 3%) was evaluated during 30 days for the the15-day interval at 4±1 °C. All chemical characterization were affected by the probiotic bacteria strain…
Violet red bile agar is a selective medium used to identify lactose-fermenting coliforms. This medium is typically used to test dairy products and water. The medium contains lactose which acts as a carbohydrate source, bile salts and crystal violet that act as an inhibitory agent towards gram-positive microorganisms and neutral red is added to serve as a pH indicator, microorganisms lower the pH which results in the colonies turning red. Some of the organisms that grow on this medium are:…
