Medium and culture conditions Cells were grown in a 100-mL flask containing 25 mL into minimal medium supplemented with Eugenol for 2, 4 and 6 days incubation at 37 °C. The following Table 3. represents the composition of the modified minimal media used for biotransformation of eugenol (Muheim and Lerch, 1999). The pH of the medium was adjusted between 7.0 to 7.25 and autoclaved to obtain sterilized media for further …show more content…

Effect of Various nitrogen sources: The modified minimal media used for biotransformation of Eugenol has yeast extract (0.5gm/L) as its sole nitrogen source. This was replaced by beef extract, peptone, ammonium nitrate and sodium nitrate respectively at 0.5gm/L to monitor effect of various organic and inorganic nitrogen sources. Culture was kept under optimum temperature and pH for an incubation period of 2, 4, and 6 days. 3.5.5. Effect of varying temperature and pH: Effect of varying temperature (5 °C, 25 °C, 37 °C and 45 °C) on biotransformation of Eugenol was studied at pH of 7. After choosing an optimum temperature, pH was optimized in the range of 5-9 to observe its effect on production of valuable products. Similarly, Medium and culture conditions were maintained as described in section 4.2. The cultures were incubated for 2, 4, and 6 days to monitor effect of varying temperature and pH on production of different metabolites during biotransformation. 3.5.6. Effect of inoculum size (v/v %): Effect of different inoculum size (2 %, 3 %, 4 %, 5 % and 6 %) on production of desired metabolites by the selected microorganism was studied. The modified minimal media used for biotransformation of optimized Eugenol and other different parameters was studied for the effect of different inoculum size (v/v %). Culture was kept under optimum temperature and pH for incubation period of 2, 4 and 6

Methods Unknown microbial #398 went through several of tests in order to identify its characteristics when isolated from a urine sample of Doris, a 64- year old patient with a kidney infection. To identify unknown #398, must prepare a working and a reserve stock by the inoculation from a broth culture and by quadrant streaking method on a PEM and EMP plates. The following test procedures were incubated at 37°C for 48 hours for observation and identification for unknown #398. The identification of unknown #398 followed test procedures from Brown1.

12/10/2015: Eugenia Clement, RD, LD request that I speak with the mother of her 3 year old patient, De Breia Oliver, a 23 year old African American, married mother and self reported to being depressed. Ms. Oliver states that she just works and sleeps and finds little pleasure in doing anything else, she has very little energy and although she gets hungry she doesn’t eat much, but this she states is not impacting her Diabetes I (although Eugenia reports that she was told that it is impacting her Diabetes). Ms. Oliver scored a 15 on the PHQ-9, indicating that she is moderately severely depressed. Eugenia Clement is concerned that her depression is impacting her choices in foods for her daughter (she is reported to eat primarily fast food). Ms.

The purpose of this lab report is to employ a myriad of skills, tools and, methods learned throughout this semester to perform the appropriate tests for the identification of the assigned unknown bacteria. Add more background information here!!! The most important tools and techniques used during this identification include aseptic technique, microscopic examination and, the use of selective and differential media. Aseptic technique is an important tool for microbiologists. It is imperative that aseptic technique is maintained throughout the length of any test to avoid any cross-contamination that may lead to inaccurate results.

Introduction Our world is composed of many bacteria’s’ that can either help or destroy us. Therefore, its’s imperative to learn and study them. The purpose of the lab was to put into action the methods that have been learned in the laboratory to determine our unknown bacteria. Bacteria’s can have different features, shapes, and or arrangements that help microbiologist determined their role in our life (whether they are good or bad for humans).

Materials and Methods To start with, the unknown bacteria # 710 broth had to be successfully isolated on an EMB and MAC agar plate. Using aseptic technique by sterilizing the wire loop with Bunsen Burner between inoculations and flaming the opening of the test tubes before inserting in the loop with the bacteria. The streaking technique used was to isolate the colonies on the agar plates. In addition, the streak plates had to be incubated in a upturned position for 24 hours in a hot temperature incubator at 37 degree Celsius. Bacteria need a favorable condition to grow in.

Usually, the microbial enzymes have various potential uses in industries and medicine. The microbial enzymes are also more reliable than plant and animal enzymes as they are more stable and active. Also the microorganisms demonstrate an alternative source of enzymes because they can be cultured in large quantities in a short time by fermentation and owing to their biochemical diversity and susceptibility to gene manipulation. Industries are looking for new microbial strains in order to produce different enzymes to fulfil the current enzyme

In vitro investigations have been done on the genotoxic effects of zinc oxide eugenol and resin based sealers used in dentistry for root canal. Authors have suggested a moderate to severe toxic effects of zinc oxide eugenol in V79 cell line and also demonstrated that these effects are dose dependent suggesting that eugenol has cytotoxic but not genotoxic effects (41). On the other hand the chemopreventive effect of eugenol on DNA damage induced by 7, 12 dimethylbenzanthracene (DMBA) has been evaluated in MCF-7 cells. The observations suggested that eugenol was potent to protect DNA against genotoxic damage induced by DMBA. Eugenol is able to suppress the DMBA activation and acts as a potential chemopreventive compound

- Little to no oxygen will result in the E. coli cells producing large quantities of acetic acid, causing the growth medium to reach pH 4 or lower however, with proper aeration the cells will be able to use many organic acids as carbon sources and the pH of the growth medium will be maintained at neutral or basic ranges. Aeration is another important factor in determining E. coli cell growth however it can continue to grow in the absence of oxygen using fermentation and anaerobic respiration. - Optimal growth temperature is 37C, cannot grow well at temperatures higher than 42C and they can tolerate lower temperatures with lower growth rate. - The doubling time or generation time for most E. coli strain in a rich medium at 37C is 20 minutes.
