Abstract Identifying microorganisms is essential to Microbiology. Distinguishing certain microorganisms from one another aids scientists and researchers on how they affect the human body. This particular experiment gives the opportunity to identify a microorganism through a series of tests. An unknown Gram negative sample was obtained. Due to the Gram negative trait, certain tests were then used on the unknown to help identify further characteristics of the bacterium. Data was collected and assessed
Communities and civilization have developed and flourished around water, as water is the most important necessity for economic and societal development. Urbanization, population and industrialization have depleted the clean drinking water sources. Their chemical and biological contaminations no more render them potable. Water borne diseases are one of the main reasons for premature mortalities in the world, especially among the economically weaker sections.[1] Children are vulnerable to attacks
dream was to work in medical field, I always explored something that relates food, nutrients, and human health. Finally, I was pondering to read an article in 2010 in daily star heading ‘Toxic poultry feed poses health risk'. I came to know from the report that poultry and fish feed possessed by tannery waste which is a serious health risk for consumers because contaminants directly entering the food chain. After reading that article, I have a lot of question into my mind. What happen if heavy metals
Lakes are relatively small to large water bodies surrounded by land on all sides sustaining an ecosystem in and around them. Lakes have been an integral part of the ecological system by providing natural abode for plants, animals and microorganisms. Increase in urbanization and industrialization has led to the destruction and in the reduction of lakes in the city of Bangalore, Surviving lakes in Bangalore are reduced to cesspools due to direct discharge of industrial effluents and unregulated dumping
How does medical waste management contribute to a sustainable healthcare system? The World Health Organization defines health systems as follows: “A health care system consists of all organizations, people and actions whose primary intent is to promote, restore or maintain health. This includes efforts to influence determinants of health as well as more direct health-improving activities.” The need for health care systems is to defend against rising illnesses, provide adequate financial support for
Mixed Unknown Bacteria Lab Report Biology 2460-002 Jamuna Kadariya November 24, 2014 Unknown number: thirty-four I. Abstract There are many types of bacteria and they produce different enzymes. However, some bacteria can produce same enzymes. In order to identify the particular enzymes produce by each bacteria specific test needs to be done. Among various types of enzyme producing bacteria, gram- negative and gram-positive bacteria are given priority in our experiment. There are four main types
Unknown Number 16 – Salmonella typhimurium Cindy Chai Rutgers University Microbiology for the Health Sciences Abstract This lab report was performed to identify the unknown organism, number 16, through various laboratory tests and techniques. The laboratory tests generated some critical results that suggested the unknown culture was Salmonella typhimurium. Some of the tests that led to the identification of the unknown organism included: the EMB agar plate that resulted as negative for lactose
minimise the basic risks staff attend health and safety training, before working in the laboratory. The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and NHS policies must be complied with from all staff. If incidents happen it is important to fill out incident reports to help minimise the risk of the incident occurring again. Staff must follow certain procedures for example Standard Operating Procedures. In laboratories there are factors that can introduce risks, some examples are; Fire risks that may arise can
BIOFUELS Two problems roused the world’s concern in recent years. One is energy crisis caused by the squandering of petroleum fuel. Second problem is environmental problems such as greenhouse effect, global warming, etc. To deal with such problems, renewable sources, utilization technology and bioenergy production technology have been developed. Bioethanol as one of the biofuel can be blended in different proportions in automobiles with gasoline. Biobutanol is also a new biofuel (Liu, Wang, & Zhang
