This document outlines a procedure for isolating microorganisms from a sample using the pour plate method. The aims are to isolate and obtain pure cultures of microorganisms. The principle involves diluting the sample and mixing it with warm agar which is then poured into petri dishes to form individual colonies after incubation. Colonies are then transferred to fresh media for identification. The procedure involves preparing and sterilizing media, diluting the sample, pour plating the dilutions, incubating, and recording results to determine the number of viable microorganisms present.
A pure culture theoretically contains a single bacterial species. There are a number of procedures available for the isolation of pure cultures from mixed populations. A pure culture may be isolated by the use of special media with specific chemical or physical agents that allow the enrichment or selection of one
organism over another.
Pure cultures require proper preservation and maintenance to remain viable and unchanged over time. Methods for preserving pure cultures include lyophilization, cryopreservation, and storage on agar slants or plates at appropriate temperatures. Proper sub-culturing techniques and sterile practices help maintain purity of the culture and prevent contamination.
The document discusses various methods for preserving microorganisms. Short term methods include periodic transfer to fresh medium, storage in saline suspension, and refrigeration. Long term methods involve storage under mineral oil, lyophilization (freeze drying), cryopreservation in liquid nitrogen, and storage in sterile soil or silica gel. Lyophilization works by freezing and then reducing moisture content through sublimation and desorption. It allows storage at room temperature for many years but can damage some microbes. Cryopreservation in liquid nitrogen at -196°C also enables long term storage of over 10-30 years without genetic change.
The document discusses various techniques for obtaining pure cultures of microorganisms, including streak plating, spread plating, serial dilution, and single cell isolation. Streak plating involves streaking bacteria across nutrient agar plates using a loop to separate individual colonies. Serial dilution uses successive dilutions of a mixed culture in liquid media to isolate a predominant microorganism. Single cell isolation picks a single cell from a culture using a micromanipulator or capillary pipette and allows it to multiply, producing a pure culture. These pure culture techniques are important for laboratory study of individual microbial species.
The serial dilution technique is used to count microbial colonies in environmental samples. It involves mixing a sample with diluent at ratios of 1:2 or 1:10 to reduce the microbial concentration to a countable level. The sample is serially diluted up to 10-8 and plated using the pour plate method. The plates are incubated and colonies are counted. The number of colonies per gram of sample is then calculated using the dilution factor. This technique allows microbiologists to study the number and types of microorganisms present in various environmental sources.

The document discusses the Most Probable Number (MPN) technique, which is used to estimate the concentration of viable microorganisms in water samples. It works by inoculating water samples into broth at different dilutions and observing growth, based on the principle of extinction dilution. A positive/negative result is obtained from lactose fermentation tests in broth. These results are interpreted using an MPN table to estimate the number of bacteria per 100ml of water. The document outlines the materials, presumptive test procedure involving broth incubation, confirmatory test using EMB agar plates, and complete test of Gram staining suspicious colonies to identify bacteria like E. coli.

MacConkey agar is used for Gram negative organisms.
TOTAL COUNT:
The initial analysis is done by mixing serial dilution of sample in liquid nutrient agar which is then poured into bottles.
The bottles are then sealed and laid on their sides to produce a slopping agar surface.
The colonies are then counted by eye.The total number of colonies are said as Total Viable Count. The initial analysis is done by mixing serial dilution of sample in liquid nutrient agar which is then poured into bottles.
The bottles are then sealed and laid on their sides to produce a slopping agar surface.
The colonies are then counted by eye.The total number of colonies are said as Total Viable Count.
Pour plate method:
The same procedure is done for this till serial dilution.
The serially diluted sample is then mixed with the molten nutrient agar.
Then poured onto the sterile petridish.
Incubated under appropriate temperature amd the colonies where counted.
ConclusionThe enumeration of these spoiled food samples are important to encounter the type of microbe is causing the spoilage.
And hence this is used to prevent the same type of spoilage.
This can be avoided by making the environmental changes which inhibits the organism which is responsible for the spoilage.

GROWTH OF BACTERIA CANNOT BE MEASURED DIRECTLY BY SEEING THEM AS THEY ARE MICROSCOPIC STRUCTURES THEREFORE WE HAVE TO USE SEVERAL METHODS WHICH ARE DESCRIBED IN THIS PRESENTATION
This document discusses screening techniques used to isolate microorganisms of interest from a population. It describes primary screening as an initial process to discard many non-useful microbes while detecting a small percentage that may have industrial applications. Secondary screening further tests the capabilities of these isolated microorganisms to determine their real potential value. Some primary screening techniques mentioned include using crowded plates, detecting organic acid production, and screening for antibiotic production. The document also discusses improving crowded plate techniques and the goals and approaches of secondary screening to evaluate a microorganism's potential for industrial use.
Direct methods of measurement of microbial growth includes various methods of enumeration of both viable and non viable cell also includes growth curve. Helpful for UG and PG programs of microbiology
This document discusses various indirect methods for measuring microbial growth, including turbidimetry, measuring metabolic activity, and dry weight determination. Turbidimetry uses a spectrophotometer to measure light passing through a cell suspension, where more cells cause more turbidity. Metabolic activity measurement involves assessing products like acid or oxygen levels proportional to population size. Dry weight determines the mass of filtered and dried cells, but cannot distinguish live from dead. Scintillation counters are also discussed for measuring radioisotopes through light excitation detection.
Nutritional requirement by microorganismsSuchittaU
Nutrients are required for microbial growth and act as building blocks and energy sources. The main nutrient requirements for microorganisms include carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, hydrogen, oxygen, potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron and trace elements. Microorganisms can be classified based on their carbon, energy and electron sources as photolithotrophs, photoorganoheterotrophs, chemolithoautotrophs, chemolithoheterotrophs or chemoorganoheterotrophs. Culture media are used to grow microorganisms and include defined, complex, liquid, solid, supportive, enriched, selective and differential media depending on their composition and purpose.
Factors affecting the growth of microbesPrachi Gupta
This document discusses the physical factors that influence the growth of microorganisms, including temperature, pH, osmotic pressure, hydrostatic pressure, and radiation. It describes how each factor affects microbial growth and membranes. Temperature is the most important physical factor, as it can damage enzymes and membranes at extremes. Microbes are classified based on their optimal temperature ranges, such as psychrophiles, mesophiles, thermophiles, and hyperthermophiles. Optimal pH and osmotic pressure ranges also determine bacterial classifications like acidophiles, alkalophiles, halophiles, and osmotolerant microbes. Higher hydrostatic pressures and radiation can also impact microbial growth.
The document describes the direct microscopic method for enumerating bacterial cells using a Petroff-Hausser counting chamber. The counting chamber contains squares that delimit a known sample volume. Cells are counted within the squares under a microscope and the total number of cells in the original sample is extrapolated based on the number counted and sample dilutions. Living and dead cells can be distinguished using a dye that is only permeable to dead cells.

Negative staining allows visualization of bacterial cell morphology without directly staining the cells. It works by using acidic stains like India ink or nigrosin that stain the background glass slide rather than the negatively charged bacterial cells. This occurs because the stain is negatively charged and repelled from the bacterial surface. Negative staining provides clear views of cell shape and arrangement against a dark background without requiring heat fixation, making it useful for delicate cells. It involves mixing a bacterial culture with the negative stain to form a thin smear on a slide for examination under a microscope.
The document discusses various methods for isolating and preserving microorganisms in pure culture. To isolate microbes, common methods include streak plating, pour plating, and serial dilution. Maintaining pure cultures long-term involves subculturing to fresh media periodically or preservation through lyophilization, low-temperature storage, or overlaying cultures with mineral oil. Lyophilization involves freeze-drying microbes under vacuum to remove water and stop metabolic activity, allowing long-term viability.

Detection techniques for microorganisms in food of animalMANJEET RATHOUR
The detection and enumeration of microorganisms in food are an essential
part of any quality control or food safety plan. Traditional methods of detecting foodborne pathogenic bacteria are often time-consuming because of the need for growth
in culture media, followed by isolation, biochemical and/or serological identifi cation,
and in some cases, subspecifi c characterization. Advances in technology have made
detection and identifi cation faster, more sensitive, more specifi c, and more convenient than traditional assays. These new methods include for the most part antibodyand DNA-based tests, and modifi cations of conventional tests made to speed up
analysis and reduce handling.
STERILITY TESTING OF PHARMACEUTICALS ppt by DR.C.P.PRINCEDR.PRINCE C P
Sterility Testing: done to detect if viable forms of micro-organisms are present or not on or in the pharmaceutical preparation.
The test is applied to substances or preparations which, according to the Pharmacopoeia, are required to be sterile. For example
✦ Injections
✦ Implants
✦ Syringes
✦ Bandages
✦ Dressings
✦ Surgical Instruments
✦ Needles
✦ Injectables
✦ Bulk Solids
✦ Ophthalmic Products..etc
If microorganisms are placed in a media that provides nutrients and water and kept at a favourable temperature the organism will grow and their growth can be indicated by turbidity in originally clear medium.

Sterility testing is performed on pharmaceutical products that are required to be sterile, such as injections, implants, and bandages. The tests are conducted under aseptic conditions to detect any viable microorganisms. Samples are inoculated into nutrient-rich culture media and incubated for at least 14 days. If no microbial growth is observed, the product passes the sterility test and is considered sterile. However, if growth is detected, the product fails the test and is not sterile. Common culture media used include fluid thioglycolate medium and soybean-casein digest medium, which support the growth of aerobic and anaerobic microbes.

The Rh factor is also discussed, which further divides blood types into positive or negative based on the presence of the RhD antigen. Blood grouping is performed using forward and reverse methods to test red blood cells or serum for antigens and antibodies. The eight main blood group types based on ABO and Rh typing are identified.
The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically youngSérgio Sacani
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.
The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defectsSérgio Sacani
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.
The technology uses reclaimed CO₂ as the dyeing medium in a closed loop process. When pressurized, CO₂ becomes supercritical (SC-CO₂). In this state CO₂ has a very high solvent power, allowing the dye to dissolve easily.
Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...Leonel Morgado
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.
The use of Nauplii and metanauplii artemia in aquaculture (brine shrimp).pptxMAGOTI ERNEST
Although Artemia has been known to man for centuries, its use as a food for the culture of larval organisms apparently began only in the 1930s, when several investigators found that it made an excellent food for newly hatched fish larvae (Litvinenko et al., 2023). As aquaculture developed in the 1960s and ‘70s, the use of Artemia also became more widespread, due both to its convenience and to its nutritional value for larval organisms (Arenas-Pardo et al., 2024). The fact that Artemia dormant cysts can be stored for long periods in cans, and then used as an off-the-shelf food requiring only 24 h of incubation makes them the most convenient, least labor-intensive, live food available for aquaculture (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021). The nutritional value of Artemia, especially for marine organisms, is not constant, but varies both geographically and temporally. During the last decade, however, both the causes of Artemia nutritional variability and methods to improve poorquality Artemia have been identified (Loufi et al., 2024).
Brine shrimp (Artemia spp.) are used in marine aquaculture worldwide. Annually, more than 2,000 metric tons of dry cysts are used for cultivation of fish, crustacean, and shellfish larva. Brine shrimp are important to aquaculture because newly hatched brine shrimp nauplii (larvae) provide a food source for many fish fry (Mozanzadeh et al., 2021). Culture and harvesting of brine shrimp eggs represents another aspect of the aquaculture industry. Nauplii and metanauplii of Artemia, commonly known as brine shrimp, play a crucial role in aquaculture due to their nutritional value and suitability as live feed for many aquatic species, particularly in larval stages (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021).
The ability to recreate computational results with minimal effort and actionable metrics provides a solid foundation for scientific research and software development. When people can replicate an analysis at the touch of a button using open-source software, open data, and methods to assess and compare proposals, it significantly eases verification of results, engagement with a diverse range of contributors, and progress. However, we have yet to fully achieve this; there are still many sociotechnical frictions.
Inspired by David Donoho's vision, this talk aims to revisit the three crucial pillars of frictionless reproducibility (data sharing, code sharing, and competitive challenges) with the perspective of deep software variability.
Our observation is that multiple layers — hardware, operating systems, third-party libraries, software versions, input data, compile-time options, and parameters — are subject to variability that exacerbates frictions but is also essential for achieving robust, generalizable results and fostering innovation. I will first review the literature, providing evidence of how the complex variability interactions across these layers affect qualitative and quantitative software properties, thereby complicating the reproduction and replication of scientific studies in various fields.
I will then present some software engineering and AI techniques that can support the strategic exploration of variability spaces. These include the use of abstractions and models (e.g., feature models), sampling strategies (e.g., uniform, random), cost-effective measurements (e.g., incremental build of software configurations), and dimensionality reduction methods (e.g., transfer learning, feature selection, software debloating).
I will finally argue that deep variability is both the problem and solution of frictionless reproducibility, calling the software science community to develop new methods and tools to manage variability and foster reproducibility in software systems.

Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths ForwardLeonel Morgado
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.
