RBC’s are hemolyzed completely. This is known as beta-hemolysin or complete. Two days after our agar was put into the incubator at 37°C we added a drop of hydrogen peroxide to check for positive results. According to professor Harry Sdralis, “Catalase is an enzyme that breaks down hydrogen peroxide to oxygen and water.” After adding the drop of hydrogen peroxide, we waited to see if any bubbles were going to surface. If any bubbles were to form on the surface

produced in the body, primarily as a result of aerobic metabolism. Antioxidants (e.g., glutathione, arginine, citrulline, taurine, creatine, selenium, zinc, vitamin E, vitamin C, vitamin A, and tea polyphenols) and antioxidant enzymes (e.g., superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione reductase, and glutathione peroxidases) exert synergistic actions in scavenging free radicals. There has been growing evidence over the past three decades showing that malnutrition (e.g., dietary deficiencies of protein

SUMMARY CBH Ex I CELLS AND ORGANELLES Cell Membrane: consist of a lipid bilayer. Hydrophobic tails are located in the interior. Transmembrane protiens are anchored to the core of the bilayer and can be removed only by detergents that disrupt the bilayer. Peripheral membrane proteins are attatched to the cell surface electrostatically and are easily removed by altering the pH. Eucaryotic cells with outer- and intra- cellular membranes ~ half the cell’s total volume -separate intracellular

The starch plate and EMB were negative. while the Mannitol salt plate turned yellow where the unknown was applied. The catalase test was a weak positive. The SIM tube was hydrogen sulfide negative and not motile, while the methyl red test was positive. The Voges-Proskaur test, citrate test, urease test, lipid hydrolysis plate, oxidase plate and casein plate were all negative

What Is Selenium? Selenium (Se) is a trace mineral that is required by the human body and is of fundamental importance in ensuring good health. Selenium was discovered in 1817 by Jons Berzelius and takes its name from the Greek word Selene (the goddess of the moon). Until recently, selenium was a little-known trace mineral. International research on Selenium has established that it is an essential component of the human diet in the sustaining of good health and general well-being because of its

One of the most crucial commercial fruit crops of the tropical and subtropical region of the world is, Guava (Psidium guajava L.) (Singh and Jain, 2007). Numerous countries of the World like Pakistan, Bangladesh, India, Thailand, Mexico, Brazil, USA include the commercial cultivation of Guava crop (Watson and Dallwitz, 2007).

primarily in the intestinal tracts of most warm-blooded animals and one of the most clinically important and studied species is the microorganism Enterobacter aerogenes (E. aerogenes). Biochemically, E. aerogenes is gram-negative, oxidase negative, catalase positive, citrate positive, indole negative, and rod-shaped bacterium. E. aerogenes does not use oxygen for energy production, thus it thrives in environments with little or no oxygen, such as soil, sewage and feces. In a laboratory setting, E. aerogenes
