Control Colony Sample Lab Report

662 Words3 Pages

Our results from the PCR process were very unexpected, even to the point the control colony had some rather odd outcomes. The goal of this experiment was to choose three colonies from the petri dish that has been exposed to +Amp, and look for any signs of the +Amp resistant gene, blaTEM, within the colonies and decide if this gene does have an impact on bacterial resistance towards the antibiotic. My partner and I decided to utilize a bacterial colony sample that does have blaTEM genes as our control group for us to indicate what a blaTEM gel strand would appear in the agarose gel results. When observing the product of the gel product after gel electrophoresis, we were surprised to find out none of our three colonies had any strands that indicated the presence of blaTEM despite each of them surviving through the exposure to this antibiotic. …show more content…

Colonies B and C both grew larger in comparison after the +Amp exposure, which made me come to the conclusion that it must have relatively high amount of a type of +Amp resistant gene, such as blaTEM gene. Yet, the only strand that appears close to the 828 bp strand marker (displayed by the DNA ladder) is Colony D, the control group with the known blaTEM gene. Because of this outcome, I believe that while there is no presence of the blaTEM gene, there is another type of gene that is also resistant to +Amp because the phenotype of the bacterial colonies indicated no signs of total breakdown; colonies B and C indicated signs of growth instead. In the future, I would utilize other primers during PCR analysis to test for other +Amp resistant

The design relied on two Schmitt triggers to generate the two different tones while using the transistors to act as a switch. This causes it to trigger continuously between two unstable states, allowing automatic switching between two frequencies producing two different tones. The RC values between the two Schmitt triggers will differ. Capacitors charge and discharge faster when it’s resistance is smaller.

For most sequences at position 4 and 5 we observe only the nucleotides G and T, respectively. There may be rare cases where other nucleotides may also be found. To consider such observations, we need to do a process called additive smoothing or Laplace smoothing to smooth the categorical data. [9] In this case, we add 4 sequences: AAAAAAAAA, CCCCCCCCC, GGGGGGGG, TTTTTTTTT.

I need to find the area of rectangle ABCD. I know that ABCD is a rectangle with diagonals intersecting at point E. Segment DE equals 4x-5, segment BC equals 2x+6, and segment AC equals 6x. I predict that To find the area of rectangle ABCD I need to find out the base and height of the rectangle. The first step is to find what x equals. Since I know the intersecting line segments AC and DB are congruent that means when I times the equation 4x-5 for segment DE by two it will equal the equation 6x for segment AC.

Salt Creek And Barker Lake Lab Report

In this lab we were trying to figure out if Salt Creek and Barker Lake had the correct chemical balances to sustain catfish for the years coming. In order to find this out, we tested the water using a Hach Water Testing Kit. Inside were dissolved oxygen reagent powder pillows 1, 2 and 3 which we added and mixed into our sample water to prepare it for testing. Then we added droplets of Sodium Thiosulphate Solution into the prepared water too see how much dissolved oxygen parts per million were in the water. Our independent variable in this experiment was the 5 different testing sites that we went to for water samples.

Intercellular Gene Transfer Lab Report

This time, we used minimal agar plate. The plate was labeled into two sections, Trsf and Mut. The Trsf colony on the LB plate was looped and spread on the Trsf section of the minimal agar plate and the Mut was done likewise. The plate was then incubated at 30℃ until the next course day. Only the wild-type Acinetobacter gene enables the bacteria to grow on minimal medium, therefore if growth was seen on the Trsf section then we would expect that the mutant had transformed and picked up DNA from its surroundings.

The main reason of why scientists have a hard time finding a good set of existing organisms to compare. Is neither the first set of organisms which is being compared is dying as fast as the second specimen is being examined or they just can’t find the right species.

In the spot overlay Ames assay in (Table 1) the positive control is mutagenic. The positive control for TA1535 shows that are double the amount of colonies than the negative control but it was expected that the colony count to be higher. The TA1538 does not show it is mutagenic because a possible source error can be the bacteria labels were switched.

Afterwards, with the use of Glimmer 3.02 and BLAST, gene prediction and annotation were completed with another plasmid, pHN122-1, as a reference. To confirm the role of the gene that caused polymyxin resistance and contained mcr-1, the gene and its sequence were place into a cloning vector pUC18 that yielded pUC18-mcr-1. With this yield and electroporation, it was used to transform an E.coli strain, revealing its ability to confer colistin resistance. Q3D:

My bacterium turned out to be gram positive. When conducting these tests, I only had to do the coagulase test and the catalase test because when doing the catalase test, the reaction was that it had bubbled. If it did not bubble, or have a positive reaction, then I would not have had to do the coagulase test. Also, since my bacterium caused a positive catalase test, I only had to do the coagulase test and no other tests. This is because with staphylococcus organisms, these are the only tests
