How was the appearance of the disease causing bacteria (S strain) different from the harmless bacteria (R Strain)?

Biology
1 answer:
Mamont248 [21]2 years ago

Answer:

S strain have a capsule (polysaccharides) that protects them from the defense mechanisms of infected animals. In in vitro culture, they form colonies with a smooth appearance. On the other hand, R Strain do not have the capsule present in the S cells and do not cause pneumonia. In in vitro culture, they form colonies with a rough appearance.

Explanation:

In 1928, the microbiologist Fred Griffith, who was researching various strains of pneumococcus, injected mice with the S strain and the R strain of the bacteria. The S strain was harmful, while the rough (R) strain was not. When, inactivated by heat, the S strain was injected, there were no sequelae and the mouse lived. Surprisingly, when combining strain R (non-lethal), with strain S inactivated by heat (non-lethal), the mouse died. In addition, Griffith found live S-strain cells. R Strain apparently became S strain. This finding could not be explained, until in 1944 Avery, Mc Leod, and Mc Carty, cultured S strain and produced cell lysate extract (cell-free extract) and then lipids, proteins and polysaccharides were removed, the streptococcus still retained its ability to replicate its DNA and introduce it into pneumococcus R. Griffith heat inactivation would have left the DNA of the bacteria chromosomes intact, which was the cause of formation of the S gene, and could be released by the destroyed cells and implanted in successive cultures of R Strain.

Did you model weathering, erosion, or both in this lab? Give an example of a step of the lab in which you modeled a process to s
kolezko [41]

Modeling of weathering and erosion can be performed in lab.

<h3>Procedure of Modeling Weathering and Erosion using graham cracker:</h3>

1. Fill the ice cube tray or other tiny containers with 100 drops of water in each of the two or three cells using the eyedropper. Make the water entirely solid by freezing it for however long(for 3-4 hrs.).

2. Insert one graham cracker section into the bowl. To create a ramp-like structure out of the Graham Cracker, place one end on the bowl's lip and the other end at the bottom. To secure the cracker to the side of the bowl, dab some icing on the back of the cracker.

3.Add water to the eyedropper. Hold the dropper at a height of about 1 inch above the cracker's top. the dropper over the cracker in the middle. Apply 100 drips, always aiming for the same area.

4.Keep an eye on what the cracker does. Keep a record of your findings.

5. Pour the water into a glass that is clear after removing the Graham cracker. Make notes about the water, grading its cloudiness among your observations.

6.In the same manner as in step 2, clean and dry the bowl and add a Graham cracker to it. Grab an ice cube and wipe it over the graham cracker until it melts completely.

7.Remove the graham cracker and pour the melted water into the clear glass.

<h3>Result:</h3>

Appearance of water collected after is moved across graham cracker.
