  • Bacillus Thingiensis Lab Report

    1162 Words  | 5 Pages

    Bacillus thuringiensis was isolated from raw milk (Taif, KSA) on nutrient agar at 37oC for overnight. The supernatant of the bacterial isolate was screened for synthesis of AgNPs. The bacterial isolate was morphologically and biochemically characterized according to Bergy’s Manual of Systemic Bacteriology[21]. Also, this bacterial isolate was further identified by 16S rRNA sequencing. The culture was maintained on a nutrient agar plate/slants at 4°C and as glycerol stocks 40% at −70°C. Preparation of bacterial

  • Master Plate Lab Report

    251 Words  | 2 Pages

    The creation of the master plate was made up of specially selected bacteria from both experiment 3.2 and 4.1, the goal was to achieve a diverse selection of bacteria to observe closely at its texture, color, shaper, and margins. When selecting specific bacteria, I looked for the best combination of variation and choosing across all five of my plates for both agars. Through using morphological observation I was able to determine different bacteria such as colonies that are irregular and circular continuing

  • Gram Stain Lab Report

    478 Words  | 2 Pages

    Streak plate The streak plate was successful due to the growth of colonies in the media. The unknown microbe was separated in small individual colonies. The colonies are light yellow in color, irregular shape, and shiny in texture. The successful separation of individual colonies is the foundation for many tests that will be used for the identification of the unknown bacteria. Gram Stain Gram stain is a common technique used to distinguish between gram positive and gram negative. Gram positive

  • Lab Report On Unknown Bacteria

    666 Words  | 3 Pages

    the unknown bacteria we had to use the streak plate technique to isolate separate colonies. We used a nutrient and MacConkey agar plate to begin. We used both agars because the nutrient agar allows us to grow the largest number of different types of microbes, yet not all bacteria can grow because it is rich with beef broth and some yeast extracts. McConkey agar only allows gram negative bacteria to grow while inhibiting gram positive bacteria. This agar also contains a pH indicator which allows us

  • Agar Disk Diffusion

    .4 Agar Disk Diffusion The antimicrobial tests were carried out according to disc diffusion tests (Lennette et al., 1985, Kim et al., 1995). Cells were streaked on MHA agar plate to obtain colonies at 37°C for 16 hrs after which they were resuspended in sterile saline solution to give an O.D of 0.1 at 600nm. On solidified 2% MHA plate, the bacterial culture is swabbed and sterile disc impression was made, 10 µl plant extracts was loaded on the agar plate. After 10 minutes the plate is incubated

    We took 2 Petri plates containing L-agar and spread 50µl from dilutions 〖10〗^(-3) and 〖10〗^(-5) respectively on L-agar plates by using spreader and incubated them at 37°C for 24 hours. After 24 hours incubation, we selected isolated colony and streak it on L-agar containingPetri plates to purify it. After 24 hours incubation, we got our purified colony, now we checked either it is nitrogen fixing

    petri dishes were obtained air and skin. The air petri dish lid was left open so airborne bacteria could land in the petri dish. The skin petri dish was divided into four sections for each lab member. We each pressed our fingerprints into the correct agar section to capture bacteria from our skin (Holbrook and Leicht, 2017).

Colony counts (CFU/ml) were determined at different time points (T0, T3, T24) by using appropriate dilutions of each culture. Using spot-plating method (32) 10µl was spotted on LB agar plates. However after 24 hour exposure the bacterial cell from dilutions of ≤ 1x102 were washed twice with sterile PBS prior to plating in triplicate. These

    E. Discussion: In order to synthesize the polymer, Nylon 6,10, we had to complete a few steps to create the chemical reaction that combined sebacoyl chloride and hexamethylenediamine. First we measured the mass of the two graduated cylinders when they were empty, and measured it again after they were filled with sebacoyl chloride and hexamethylenediamine. We did this in order to find the measurements of the reactants. When we measured the graduated cylinder when they were emptied, one weighed at

  • Aesop's Fables In The Modern World

    1937 Words  | 8 Pages

    Aesop’s Fables in The Modern World Aesop is the originator of this genre (fables); the Greek people chose the name and created a several legends about Aesop. In Norton Anthology of Western Literature book it says about him, “He had supposedly been a slave and was known for his ugliness and outspokenness. But there is no reason to believe that this has any historical accuracy. The stories about Aesop gave the Greeks and Romans a way of talking about the fables.” He gives a new way to represent ancient

  • Theories Of Plate Tectonics

    1141 Words  | 5 Pages

    The theory of plate tectonics was formulated in the 1960’s, to provide a realistic and complete idea of the processes that produce the Earth’s surface. These plates make up the Earth’s strong outer layer, the lithosphere. “This layer is about 100km thick, which includes the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle.” (Rafferty, 2010) Before the late 1960’s, geologists held the perspective that all the continents and ocean basins were in fixed positions. However this view was quickly dismissed, as

  • Essay On Aerial Volcano

    1085 Words  | 5 Pages

    Aerial volcano lies at the convergent plate boundary between an oceanic and continental plate. It is believed to have been formed through the process of subduction. When the two plates converge, the denser and thinner oceanic plate gets bent, or subducted, beneath the lighter and thicker continental plate. The magma rises, becoming lava when it reaches the Earth’s surface. When the lava cools, it forms rock. Over time, after several eruptions in which magma explodes to the surface when pressure in

    Speech More than 100,000 tons of gum is being consumed every year by people, and most of those people are students. If you ask anyone if they like gum they will most likely say yes and that is probably because in the modern world, we have incredibly diverse flavors of gum. People chew a lot of gum, but is it actually good? Or bad? Gum actually has a lot of benefits and I am only going to mention multiple out of many. FIrstly gum helps students stay focused in class and outside of class. It’s
