1. The various contaminated areas in school according to the acquired class data was the front door entrance handles and the biology classroom doorknob. In the individual experiment conducted revolving the four locations in table 2 the front door handles contained a greater amount of bacteria than the AC vents and the office water dispenser. The least contaminated areas according to the class data was the cafeteria microwaves and after further observation a question was made, could the constant

Next, the dilute samples were used to grow bacterial colonies on agar gel in petri dishes; specifically, Brain Heart Infusion Agar (BHIA) was utilized to sustain the bacterial colonies. However, before streaking any plates, three of the five plates were treated with antibacterial agents. The antibiotic treatment process involved a sterile transfer pipette which was used to transfer each specific agent to the BHIA in the petri dishes.

a higher onset of SLE among different races. In Segasothy & Phillips’s study (as cited in Petri, 2002), Lupus is found to be more frequent in Aborigines than Caucasians in Australia. Johnson, Gordon, Palmer & Bacon’s study (as cited in Petri, 2002) supports that SLE is more common amongst Asians than in Caucasians in the UK and in Oahu, Hawaii. According to a study by Samanta,Feehally & Roy (as cited in Petri, 2002) shows that Asians with SLE also have shortened survival. There is no consensus yet

to observe the relative trends of bacteria growth over time in broth. This experiment was conducted over the period of two days by observing the growth of bacteria in an agar broth. This solution was created by taken a single bacteria colony from a petri with an inoculation loop and placing into a bottle filled with an agar broth. After this, the bottle was placed in a incubator and left there for 24 hours. On day one, the bottle's Absorbance was measured using a spectrophotometer and it was discovered

glucose is essential for life, the theory was that if glucose was used on the radish seeds, the germination process would be accelerated. Our hypothesis was that if we used glucose, our germination should be quicker. Materials and Methods Eight Petri dishes were used in this experiment that held twenty radishes in each. These radishes were watered daily with glucose over the course of seven days. Three different concentrations of glucose were used with one solution being deionized water, which

Posted on April 19, 2009 by firebiology07 BAB I PENDAHULUAN I.1 Latar Belakang Di dalam bidang ilmu mikrobiologi, untuk dapat menelaah bakteri khususnya dalam skala laboratorium, maka terlebih dahulu kita harus dapat menumbuhkan mereka dalam suatu biakan yang mana di dalamnya hanya terdapat baktri yang kita butuhkan tersebut tanpa adanya kontaminasi dari mikroba lain. Biakan yang semacam ini biasanya dikenal dengan istilah biakan murni. Untuk melakukan hal ini, haruslah di mengerti jenis- jenis

Introduction The Daphnia magna, more commonly known as the water flea, is a tiny freshwater crustacean. Its clear exoskeleton and jointed appendages point to its classification as an arthropod. This is further evidenced by the location of its heart—the dorsal region. The Daphnia magna’s importance in the aquatic food chain can be attributed to its essential place in the diet of young and adult fish (Elbert, 2005). The Daphnia magna belongs to Class Branchiopoda, which are free-floating crustaceans

college gathered information then used creativity to invent the smartphone. Today, I want to tell you about Howard Florey and Julius Petri. These two men went to college and then used the information they learned to come up with ideas. These ideas would soon turn into inventions that would later change the world. So allow me to introduce the first famous scientist Julius Petri.

expected arrangements and map distances. Materials and Methods: During the first week, we acquired the mutant-tan type and the other wild-black types of the fungus, Sordaria fimicola from a Petri dish. In order to obtain it, we needed to make sure that all out utensils were sterile. We took sterile blank Petri dish and labeled it. We sectioned

applications (Petri, 2009). Presentation Layer The Presentation Layer is number six of the OSI model, and it responds to the service requests of the application layer and sends requests to the session layer. Specific functions of the presentation layer are as follows: • Translates data from applications into local machine formats the computer can understand and vice-versa for the end-user. • Communicates with the applications layer. • Communicates with the session layer (Petri, 2009)
