When evaluating ubiquity of microorganisms through an environmental swiping experiment, you would expect to detect microorganisms on just one or two surfaces since they can only survive in a very limited number of places.

An organism containing DNA that has been manipulated to change its properties (hopefully for beneficial reasons!) is called a(n):

As an artsy back-to-nature kinda person, you spend some of your time on the weekends making infusions from woodland plants to use for making candles and also for some witchcraft you’ve been studying.  One day you brought one of your infusions to the Microbiology lab, because you decided to cast a spell on your instructor so he would give everyone A’s on all exams.  As you flung some of the potion across the room and onto your instructor’s face, some of it dripped onto an open Petri dish of bacteria on your lab bench.  A couple of days later, you notice that the potion prevented bacterial growth on the plate in the areas where it dripped onto it.Based on your observation about the plant potion, you should be able to come up with a hypothesis about this scenario.  State your hypothesis and then explain how you would proceed based on the steps of the scientific method.  Describe the steps of the scientific method in a general way, but also provide your own specific plan for how to use the scientific method in this scenario to test your hypothesis (plan an experiment). Remember that an initial hypothesis doesn’t have to be fancy! Note: Write all discussion question responses in this class in paragraph form. View this rubric for details about how your answer will be graded.

Select each of the following that is one of the major categories of microbes:

When swiping a Petri dish of solid agar medium to evaluate the number and types of microorganisms picked up on the swab, an important part of the technique is leaving the lid of the Petri dish completely off so that you can easily swipe the surface.

Select each of the following that is an aspect of using good aseptic technique in the microbiology laboratory.
