A. Describe the four classes of flagellar arrangement common in microbes. Many motile bacteria have thread-like appendages that extend out from the cell wall and allow them to move. These appendages are called flagellum and it moves the organism away from unfavorable environments. Most cocci bacteria are non-motile i.e. have no flagella. The range of motility and the number and distribution of flagella in bacteria are important characteristics that are used to identify and classify them. Each class

Introduction Microorganisms are all around us and we interact with them all the time every day. Everyday microorganisms spread or grow. Contaminants such as bacteria and fungi are ubiquitous, meaning they exist everywhere, and they are able to spread or grow as well. Epidemiology is the study of how, when, where, what, and who are involved in the spread and distribution of diseases. The experiment presented was designed to study the epidemic of microorganisms in or on an object of our everyday

A. Generate a fermentation profile for each of the organisms you tested. Glucose fermentation shows the ability of a bacterium to ferment carbohydrate as well as its ability to convert end products (pyruvic acid) into gaseous byproducts (Levinson, 2014). During this experiment 2 of the Staphylococcus epdidermidis tubes turned yellow. It was difficult to tell if there was an air bubble in any of the tubes that turned yellow, so I may be wrong on some of the fermentation profiles. The S. cerevisiae

A. Describe conidiospores and sporangiospores. 1. Identify a mold that produces each of these spores. Molds reproduce primarily by means of asexual reproductive. Conidiospores (conidia) a unicellular or multicellular spore that is not enclosed in a sac. Penicillium and Aspergillus are examples of molds that produce conidiospores. Penicillium is a common household molds and a food contaminant. Sporangiospores are formed within a sporangium (sac). Sporangia are formed at the end of
