Students have asked these similar questions
(a) Distinguish between biofilms and microbial mats and describe their relative
significance.
(b) Describe two methods, one that employs PCR and the other that does not,
used to identify microorganisms by the molecular characteristics of their 16S
FRNA.
3.
(c) How do microorganisms enhance corrosion of metal and concrete surfaces?
Discuss, how is it possible to isolate both aerobes and anaerobes using streak plates?
Using the clinical question --"Does antibacterial foam decrease bacteria count on hands as much as hand washing with soap and water.”
Question
1) Describe your study design and sample.
2) Will your findings be generalizable? Why or why not?
3) How does this exercise inform your interpretation of published research?.
