    Introduction: Transforming a gene or genetic information from one organism into another with the hopes that if done successfully the organism with the new DNA will be given new traits is a method known as genetic transformation (Rafter). Genetic transformation is used quite frequently in today’s world, form medicine to agriculture. In this lab we will be inserting a gene into an Escherichia coli bacteria with the help of a plasmid. Escherichia coli bacteria also known as E. coli, is a bacterium that is rod shaped and contains flagella to help it move.

  • Deadly Companions: How Microbes Shaped Our History By Dorothy Crawford

    816 Words  | 4 Pages

    Although microscopic single-celled organisms inhabited earth long before humans evolved from their primate ancestors, they continue to coexist and coevolve with humans today, flourishing as both harmless and deadly companions. Within her literary work Deadly Companions: How Microbes Shaped Our History, microbiologist Dorothy Crawford begins with a dramatic account of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), the first pandemic of the twenty-first century. Crawford travels back in time four billion years ago to the origin of microbes, recounting the evolutionary history of microbes, showing how microbes spread and cause epidemics, and revealing how coevolution yields host resistance. Furthermore, Crawford explores the intertwining history of microbes and humans, with the purpose to reveal the link between the emergence of microbes and the cultural development of man.

    Materials and Methods To start with, the unknown bacteria # 710 broth had to be successfully isolated on an EMB and MAC agar plate. Using aseptic technique by sterilizing the wire loop with Bunsen Burner between inoculations and flaming the opening of the test tubes before inserting in the loop with the bacteria. The streaking technique used was to isolate the colonies on the agar plates. In addition, the streak plates had to be incubated in a upturned position for 24 hours in a hot temperature incubator at 37 degree Celsius. Bacteria need a favorable condition to grow in.

    Being able to identify unknown microbes from systematic testing is what makes the field of microbiology so important, especially in infectious disease control. Using the testing procedure laid out by the microbiology field we are able to identify unknown bacteria present in our everyday lives, and along the way learn a lot about their characteristics that separate them from other types of bacteria. Being able to do this is vital in order for us to understand why microbes are present in certain places, how they are able to grow and what restricts their growth, that way they can be combatted if necessary. These techniques for determining unknowns are also important for isolating and testing infectious disease microbes in order to prevent spreading. Another important aspect of being able to identify unknown microbes is the

    Yeast infections most often occur in the moist areas of the body particularly on the mouth and genital area in both men and women. These are caused by many factors including poor diet, hygiene and stress management while the symptoms include red, painful and itchy sores, lesions and rashes. The good news is that natural remedies for yeast infection are often the only methods that anybody with a yeast infection will need to treat the condition. And even when over-the-counter medications are necessary, the following natural remedies are still a must because of their preventive value. Yeast infections are less likely to occur with healthy lifestyle changes since the causes are directly addressed instead of just providing temporary relief for the symptoms.

    Selective medium involves medium with environmental conditions that specifically grows some microbes while inhibiting others. Differential medium is used to identify and differentiate (as the title says) closely related microbes based on growth responses and physical indicators. It is imperative to use laboratory positive and negative controls in identifying the unknown because it confirms and compares the results of the unknown’s response to the definite guide. While performing the procedures in this report, students had to keep the bacterial and biological species concepts in context. The bacterial species concept is the identification and naming of microbes based on relating physical and physiological features of the unknown to the fitting taxa.

    To begin, during this lab experiment, genetic transformation was successfully carried out. After observing the agar plates, it was found that only the plate with ampicillin and no pGLO plasmid did not grow any of the E.coli bacteria. All three of the other plates grew the E.coli bacteria, however it grew differently in each plate. In the control plate where the pGLO plasmid, ampicillin, and arabinose were not present, the bacteria grew in the pattern that it was spread in originally. In the two other plates, bacteria grew in colonies that eventually joined together due to prolonged time in the incubator.

    Usually, the microbial enzymes have various potential uses in industries and medicine. The microbial enzymes are also more reliable than plant and animal enzymes as they are more stable and active. Also the microorganisms demonstrate an alternative source of enzymes because they can be cultured in large quantities in a short time by fermentation and owing to their biochemical diversity and susceptibility to gene manipulation. Industries are looking for new microbial strains in order to produce different enzymes to fulfil the current enzyme
