Properly prepare a bacterial smear for accurate staining and describe the chemical basis for simple staining and negative staining. Background/Theory Differential staining distinguishes organisms based on their interactions with multiple stains. In other words, two organisms may appear to be different colors. Differential staining techniques commonly used in clinical settings include Gram staining, acid-fast staining, endospore staining, flagella staining, and capsule staining. This link to the OpenStax Microbiology text provides more detail on these differential staining techniques. (OpenStax CNX, 2018) The Gram stain is a differential staining procedure that involves multiple steps. It was developed by Danish microbiologist Hans Christian Gram in 1884 as an effective method to distinguish between bacteria containing the two most common types of cell walls. (OpenStax CNX, 2018) One type consists of an inner plasma membrane and a thick outer layer of peptidoglycan. The other type consists of a double phospholipid Figure 1 Simplified structures of Gram negative cells (left) and Gram positive bilayer with a thin layer of cells (right) peptidoglycan between the two. The Gram Staining technique remains one of the most frequently used staining techniques. The steps of the Gram stain procedure are listed below and illustrated in Figure. (OpenStax CNX, 2018) 1.

Hence, the present study tried to identify microbial community in non-water flooding Zeilaei (ZZ) oil reservoir. Materials and methods: In this study, for the first time, non-water flooded high temperature Zeilaei oilfield was analyzed for its microbial community based on next generation sequencing of 16S rRNA genes. Results: The results obtained from this study indicated that the most abundant bacterial community belonged to phylum of Firmicutes (Bacilli ) and Thermotoga, while other phyla (Proteobacteria , Actinobacteria and Synergistetes ) were much less abundant. Bacillus subtilis , B. licheniformis , Petrotoga mobilis , P. miotherma, Fervidobacterium pennivorans , and Thermotoga subterranea were observed with high frequency. In addition, the most abundant archaea were Methanothermobacter thermautotrophicus . Discussion and conclusion: Although there are many reports on the microbial community of oil filed reservoirs, this is the first report of large quantities of Bacillus spp.

At the very beginning, it was just a lifeless ball of melted wall. In their cell walls, bacteria can contain different quantities of murein magma. The Earth surface was gradually getting cool until reaching which is connected with a diversified sensitivity to dyes. Depending the temperature at which water and other chemical compounds on the number of peptidoglycan layers, the applied dyes (e.g. crystal could have been created.

Comparative analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences showed the three strains belonged to two novel branches within the genus Kroppenstedtia: 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis of W9323T showed closest sequence similarity to Kroppenstedtia eburnea JFMB-ATE T (95.3 %), Kroppenstedtia guangzhouensis GD02T (94.7 %) and strain X0209T (94.6 %); sequence analysis of strain X0209T showed closest sequence similarity to K. eburnea JFMB-ATE T (96.4 %) and K. guangzhouensis GD02T (96.0 %). Strains X0209T and X0394 were 99.9 % similar to each other by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. The DNA-DNA relatedness was 94.6 %, confirming that X0209T and X0394 belong to the same species.

  • Aerobic Endospore Procedure
    Office of Research and Development Photos Aerobic Endospore Procedure Laura A. Boczek Microbiologist US EPA – Office of Research and Development Aerobic Endospore Background Aerobic endospores are protective structures that some genera of bacteria have the ability to produce in response to a stressful environment. These genera are in general harmless to humans and are saprophytic organisms that are ubiquitous in many soil and water environments. These organisms can stay in the endospore form until conditions are favorable for them to germinate out of the endospore state to a vegetative state. This allows them to persist in their environment and resist many environmental stressors such as heat, desiccation, disinfection, and irradiation. 2 Aerobic Endospores Procedure Standard Methods 9218 A & B – outlines how to culture and measure aerobic endospores. Basic steps : 1. Obtaining a representative sample 2. Killing off any vegetative cells that could be in the sample by heat treatment 3. Using membrane filtration to concentrate endopsores in sample and then allow them to grow to enumerate Representative sample Samples should be collected using sterile wide mouth containers and care should be taken not to contaminate the samples during collection by using aseptic technique. Samples that contain a disinfectant residual such as chlorine should have sodium thiosulfate added to the sample bottle prior to collection in order to quench the chlorine. Samples should include a sufficient volume that can be processed to adequately determine treatment efficacy. • Sample waters will contain various amounts of endospores. Therefore if treatment efficacy is the reason why aerobic endospores are being measured a larger volume of sample may need to be collected and processed to determine efficacy.

Since coccoid forms are not susceptible to antibiotics, they could represent a cause of therapy failure even in the absence of antibiotic resistance, i.e., relapse within one year. Furthermore, coccoid forms may colonize and infect the gastric mucosa in animal models and induce specific antibodies in animals and humans. Their detection is hard, since they are not culturable. Techniques, such as electron microscopy, polymerase chain reaction, loop-mediated isothermal amplification, flow cytometry and metagenomics, are promising even if current evidence is limited.

JKC Yee Urea breath test (UBT), as a leading preferred non-invasive diagnostic technology, but may not be able to detect oral H. pylori. With negative results of UBT, the patient may have an oral infection. On the basis of the fact of success, eradication rate may increase by 21% in the 95% Cl range after the elimination of oral H. pylori, the author believes oral H. pylori does exist and the oral cavity is the second colonized site aside its primary site of the stomach. H. pylori migrated out of Africa along with its human host circa 60 000 years ago; they are not lives in stomach only. In this review article, evidence established in recent years studies with use more appropriate technology had been listed and discussed. The author considers the oral cavity is a black hole for H. pylori infection that significant effective on gastroenterology and another medical field.
