The identification of two species of pathogenic bacteria present in the food sample using (PCR). Introduction: DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) sequences isolated from various sources like cells, plasmids are seldom present in the sufficient quantity to proceed to subsequent applications. More often than not, DNA sequences are subjected to PCR (polymerase chain reactions) not only to amplify them but also to select the GOI (gene of interest) from the obtained gene pool.

Staphylococcus aureus in Foods Why is it necessary to perform an enrichment procedure in isolating Staphylococcus aureus instead of directly plating it into a selective medium? Discuss the relevance of Staphylococcus aureus in food safety, hygiene, and sanitation.

). Consider a culture medium on which only gram-positive organisms such as Staphylococcus aureus colonies can grow due to an elevated NaCl level. A yellow halo surrounds the growth, indicating the bacterium fermented sugar in the medium, decreasing the pH as a result and changing the color of a pH indicator chemical. This type of medium would be referred to as a(n): A) Selective medium. B) Differential medium. C) Enrichment culture. D) Selective and differential medium. E) Differential and enrichment culture.
