Audio fingerprinting is a technology which allows identification of unknown music.
These photographs supplied by Genelex Corporation depict actual DNA fingerprints and show the types of information that can be gleaned from them.
This contains the modules in which the Fall 2004 Elec 301 project of Charles Tripp, Michael Lawrence and Nate Shaw is explained.
Soil contains a wider variety of microorganisms than in other types of environments. Many kinds of bacteria, algae, protozoans, yeasts, molds, and microscopic worms are present in soil. Bacteria are the dominant species found in soil and many of the biological changes that occur in soil are due to bacteria. These biological changes include fixation of nitrogen for photosynthetic plants, and the recycling of other important biological elements from the decomposition of plants and animals. This laboratory exercise involves isolating an unknown bacterium from soil, maintaining a pure culture of the microbe, determining the staining, cultural, and physiological characteristics of the organism, and narrowing the identification of the bacterium to a specific microbial group.
Techniques for obtaining VAM samples from natural sources and from inoculated samples and methods of processing, staining and clearing root samples, and identification of fungal structures are described in this exercise.
Using simple microbiological techniques, this exercise will introduce students to the variety of bacterial type present in their mouths. Enriched, selective, and differential media will be used to isolate the major aerobic and anaerobic species. Visual observations of the bacteria enhance the students' appreciation for the complex microbial world of the mouth. Note: This workshop is not included in the published proceedings volume because it was not submitted by the author.
