Textbook Question

Chapter 19.L1, Problem 3CSR

3. No listeria monocytogenes was discovered in the field where the cantaloupes were grown, and the original source of the bacterium in this case was never found. The FDA report on the farm made mention of a truck that was used to carry rotted or broken cantaloupe to a nearby ranch where they were fed to cattle. What could be the importance of this fact, and what steps would you take to investigate it further?

Chapter 19.L1, Problem 1WC

Students have asked these similar questions

1. What is the most common source of E. coli? (i.e. where does it occur naturally) 2. Why do children seem to be the most ill? (Give at least 2 reasons) 3. What is the morphology, morphological arrangement and Gram reaction of E. coli? 4. How does the E. coli strain 026:H11 damage its victims?

8. Pigment or color (e.g.: opaque, translucid, red, yellow, rose, violet, etc..) is also another characteristic that can be used to identify your microorganism in a slant. Thus, write down the name of three microorganisms (using scientific notation: Escherichia coli) that present a pigmented pattern of growth in a slant (write down the color of each pigment) and the name of the disease that they may cause. 200%- 927 PM 0 日 2/7/2021 21 DELL Insert Delete F11 F12 PrtScr F9 F10 F7 F8 F6 F3 F4 F5 Esc F1 F2 Backspace & # 2$ 8 4 1 2 P Home R T E Enter K Shift V B Page Down Page Up Alt Ctrl Alt THome ノ/ *00 Σ

10. In a secret cabinet of a lab, you find two Petri dishes in storage and a mysterious lab notebook. In an effort to identify the bacteria, you run some tests (taking all necessary safety precautions) and look through the lab notebook. You find that the two Petri dishes contain the same type of nutrient medium and both bacteria seem to be Escherichia sp., but that the bacteria in plate 1 are producing large amounts of a variety of neurotoxins. The bacteria in plate 2 are not producing any major exported product. You also find this chart in the lab notebook: A E. coli growth rate (biomass/hour) Given that Strain 2 is normal E.coli (the control) and Strain 1 is a genetically engineered strain of E.coli, which line is most likely to represent strain 1, and why? A. Line B, since strain 1 should exhibit lower than normal growth efficiency. B. Line B, since strain 1 should exhibit higher than normal growth efficiency. C. Line A, since strain 1 should exhibit lower than normal growth…
