Ubiquity in microorganisms Coursework Example

Ubiquity in microorganisms Name: Institutional affiliation: Abstract Microorganisms are microscopic organisms only visualized by using a microscope. Every known habitat to man contains microorganisms. We normally have prokaryotic microorganisms which are bacteria. There are also algae which are sometimes referred to as eukaryotic, and protozoa/fungi. Viruses though acellular infect cells severely. Bacteria live in colonies despite being unicellular and sometimes in multicellular forms. The diversity and ubiquity of microorganisms can be observed deeply to come up with various conclusions. Many bacteria inhabiting a human environment are normally harmless and they coexist with life. Some bacteria are existing in symbiotic relationships with their hosts. Sometimes, some bacteria express opportunistic behaviors to become pathogenic. Such bacteria compete with the cells of the host for foods and nutrients and hence harming life. When such bacteria are showing such ideas, they occupy the wrong place at the wrong place in the host’s body and causing diseases and complications. Keywords: microorganisms, microscopic, acellular. The experiment below has sued asceptic techniques to show how to handle bacteria, (Coates, et.al, 2002). Methods 1. Wear protective kits for your hands (gloves). 2. Keep laboratory cultures and items far from children’s reach. 3. Label all containers containing the microbes well. 4. Put the colonies in the broth as a suspension. 5. Compare the cell’s turbidity with the one in figure 15. NB: make sure the metal inoculation is sterilized well. 6. Carefully extinguish the flame. 7. Use a pipette to remove the broth’s contents aseptically. 8. Label the dilutions in the vial accordingly as M1, M2, M3, M4, and B1, B2, B3, B4. 9. Add drops of bacteria into the dilutions, 3 drops into each. 10. Add up to three drops of bacterial culture into the vial C. 11. Return the remaining culture into the stock vial. 12. Use the blea...
