select a microbe that has proven to be either environmentally or socially beneficial to human beings. You are not restricted to bacteria, but the organism chosen must be considered a microbe. In your post, include an explanation of the microbe's discovery, its use (either environmentally or socially), and its normal habitat.

Note that it is not appropriate to self-diagnose outside of a medical context and this is a completely hypothetical scenario. Imagine you have a rash on your foot. You're concerned that it's an infection and inoculate a sample onto an agar plate. You wonder, How can I figure out whether the pathogen is a bacterium vs a eukaryote? You decide to use lab supplies to get a basic understanding of the pathogen. Be specific about what tests you use and what you expect the results to be. Limit yourself to experiments we could do in our lab. What is one experiment you could do, involving culturing the organism?

In one paragraph of at least 150 words, answer the following questions (IN YOUR OWN WORDS): List three environmental factors that influence microbes and discuss why these factors are important to their survival.
You are working for the CDC studying outbreaks of foodborne infectious disease. Your latest case is an incidence of food poisoning in a fast food restaurant. 5 people have been hospitalized for food poisoning, so you are working with that hospital to identify the source of the outbreak. Hospital clinicians have taken samples from each of the 5 patients for culturing. Each bacterial culture grew one likely microbe, each labelled P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5. All 5 isolates appear to have the same colony morphology on the plates, and all appear to be Gram-negative rods 1 micron wide and 3 microns long under the microscope. In addition, all 5 isolates appear to perform the same on an API 20E test strip that tests bacteria for 20 biochemical abilities. No other testing has been done yet. How would you best describe your set of isolates at this moment? O Each isolate is the same strain, of a different species O Each isolate is a different strain, of different species O Each isolate is a different…

Provide evidence in supporting or refuting the following statement: The cell, or cytoplasmic membrane, is a nonessential structure in bacteria because its function is replaced by the cell wall in these microbes. please provide minimum of 400 of words. Thank you!
What is the difference between culture media and cultural environment? Are environmental conditions related to specific microbes? If so, which conditions for which type of microbes? If you were a field researcher collecting microbes in the wild, what kind of data would you take to make sure you know the exact environment the samples require in order to culture them in a lab?
Bacterial growth depends on many environmental factors, including the temperature of the environment. Since microbes can survive in a certain range of temperatures and will thrive at a temperature, understanding these variables allows for control of their growth. This understanding can be used, for example, to preserve certain foods or to treat infections. This lab simulation will use an instrument called a spectrophotometer. This instrument quantitatively measures the amount of light that is absorbed or transmitted by molecules in solution. Microbial populations grow at different rates based on temperature. One way to measure growth is by turbidity measurements. When bacteria multiply in a broth culture they turn the clear solution cloudy, or turbid. a) in your own words explain the proper steps to Inoculate 5°C sterile broth tube using aseptic technique
