Examining Microbial Colony Structures
ExpandTo begin, collect your allocated culture plates and then remove the Parafilm and lid from one of them.
Place the uncovered plate under a dissecting microscope and then observe the individual communities within each quadrant of the plate.
As the colonies are identified, fill out the observed colony properties in the appropriate column in the table. Click Here to download Table 1
Then, repeat the observations for each of the other two bacterial...

50.5K
Bacteria and fungi are two highly diverse groups of organisms that can have significant beneficial or detrimental impacts on human health. For this reason, it is important to understand and distinguish between individual species of these groups. As you will recall, biological taxonomists group organisms based on their phylogenetic relatedness. The three domains of life, Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukaryota segregate life into three distinct groupings. While all bacteria fall within the domain...

The wormsorter facilitates genetic screens in Caenorhabditis elegans by sorting worms according to expression of fluorescent reporters. Here, we describe a new usage: sorting according to colonization by a GFP-expressing pathogen, and we employ it to examine the poorly understood role of pathogen recognition in initiating immune...

Owing to the opacity of soil, interactions between its constituent microbes cannot easily be visualised with cellular resolution. Here, two microfluidic tools are presented, which offer new opportunities for investigating fungal-microbial interactions. The devices are versatile and simple to use, enabling high spatiotemporal control and high-resolution imaging at the cellular...
