To describe:
The meningitis causing microorganism.
Introduction:
Staining technique is used for staining gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. There are various stains available like
To describe:
The confirmation of presumptive diagnosis.
Introduction:
Diagnosis and laboratory testing is a procedure which includes the growth and culturing of bacteria on culture plates. Enzymatic assays are performed which are characteristic properties of specific strains of bacteria. Staining is done to confirm species of bacteria as different stains are used for identification. They stain the outer polysaccharides present in the membrane of bacteria.

- Molecular Biology Question You are working to characterize a novel protein in mice. Analysis shows that high levels of the primary transcript that codes for this protein are found in tissue from the brain, muscle, liver, and pancreas. However, an antibody that recognizes the C-terminal portion of the protein indicates that the protein is present in brain, muscle, and liver, but not in the pancreas. What is the most likely explanation for this result?arrow_forwardMolecular Biology Explain/discuss how “slow stop” and “quick/fast stop” mutants wereused to identify different protein involved in DNA replication in E. coli.arrow_forwardMolecular Biology Question A gene that codes for a protein was removed from a eukaryotic cell and inserted into a prokaryotic cell. Although the gene was successfully transcribed and translated, it produced a different protein than it produced in the eukaryotic cell. What is the most likely explanation?arrow_forward
