Microbiology

Importance of Microbiology| in Nursing Agriculture Pharmacy Advertisement Microbiology is a subject dealing with microbes and related concepts. Microbiology has come a long way since discovery of microbes and is presently of great help to mankind. It is used in health care, food production, diagnosis, production of alcohol, maintenance of sterility and cleanliness etc. Though the subject was initially limited to study of microbes and their characteristics or properties, latter it was explored to

Contributors to Microbiology Pioneers of Microbiology I. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek (Oct. 24, 1632- Aug. 30, 1723) A. In 1676 Leeuwenhoek saw tiny organisms in water, he was the first man to observe and describe bacteria accurately. He discovered microscopic nematodes, blood cells and sperm. He also made over 500 microscopes to view specific objects. B. Microbiology is concerned with the study of all forms of life that are too small to be seen with the naked eye. Antonie’s work

Osmosis 4/13/13 MLT1 Lab 9 Performed at Home Microbial Growth There are three types of environments in which cells are located which include isotonic, hypotonic and hypertonic. In an isotonic environment, the amount of water and solute are the same both inside and outside of the cell. As water drifts into the a cell, the same amount flows out creating a balanced environment both inside and outside of the cell. When there is a high level of

Autumn White Biology 258-05 November 26, 2012 Unknown #19 Enterbacteriaceae Enterobacter aerogenes ABSTRACT The objective of this report was to identify an unknown microorganism through several differential media tests. Over the course of a couple weeks, ten tests were performed. First, a gram stain was performed, indicating the bacterium was gram negative. An aerotolerance test determined that the bacterium was a facultative anaerobe. Next, a negative result in the

For this analysis assignment, I used the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) website to find technical documents from the microbiology field. I chose two whitepapers written by the same author but the papers themselves have vastly different purposes. The first white paper informs the reader of multi-resistant strains and the need for new solutions to this problem. The second document discuss a new approach to treating multidrug-resistant infections. This memo will explain the purpose of each

Introduction Microbiology is the study of microorganisms that live unseen by the naked eye. This field delves into the morphology, physiology, and biochemical aspects of bacteria, viruses, yeast, protozoa and archaea. Microorganisms play a vital role in every form of life from plants to animals. There are many branches within the field of microbiology that are broken down into two groups; pure and applied. The study of pure microbiology includes six main branches; bacteriology, mycology, phycology

​I have been interested in microbiology since I was a senior in high school. Besides reading many books about microbiology, I have taken a microbiology class at my current school and it has furthered my interest in it. My mother has had meningitis after a major brain surgery and thanks to the wonderful doctors she had, she has made a somewhat full recovery. Since this has happened, I hope that by pursuing this field, I can help others who have faced this disease and similar ones through either directly

Microbiology involves the study of microbes and their relevant scientific roles. The purpose of this lab report is to use the methods and techniques acquired from the microbiology course to identify an unknown bacterium. The assigned culture for this report is Unknown 28. Various laboratory techniques were performed in this process in order to draw conclusions as to what microorganism the unknown sample may contain. Before proper tests can be performed, the most important aspect to laboratory procedures

Statement of Purpose Name: Ujjwal Rimal Area of Interest: Microbiology and Immunology. During his last few months, my grandfather had trouble falling asleep. Frequent cough and his debilitating health was the matter of concern for our family. The nights had always been horrible as my father had to take care of him till the dawn. At that time, lung cancer was a fatal disease in Nepal. His demise gave me an insight into how illness can affect a person’s life and of the people close to him

I have chosen to pursue a major in microbiology due to my high interest in public and international health. I am interested in how microbes play a role in the functionality of the human body. Moreover, I find the ecological roles of microbes to be critical to our understanding of other fields of science that impact human health. The niches of microbes throughout a variety of environments indicates the human impact on our ecosystem. Service has been important in my life which has inspired me to
