A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE TWO METHODS (DISC DIFFUSION AND WELL DIFFUSION)...SoumikRoychowdhury5
Bacterial infection can cause a wide number of diseases in the human body and these microscopic organisms can be found almost everywhere and can enter the human body in multiple ways.
Among various bacterial species present in the environment, this study is going to focus on three major types including Strep. Spp.Lactobacilli, and Streptococcus pyogenes.
Streptococcus genus has more than 50 species and among them only five can cause disease in the human body (Stokes et al. 2019).
Lactobacillus is another type of Gram positive bacteria which is rod shaped and belongs to the type of non-spore-forming bacteria.
Several antibiotics have been designed and implemented for treating the diseases caused by bacteria.
In the present study, five antibiotics have been used to check the sensitivity against three bacterial species.
These antibiotics are streptomycin, penicillin, Gentamycin, Chloramphenicol, and erythromycin.
The main purpose of these slides is to convey information to the Professors, Lecturers, and Students. These slides contain authentic information about this topic which is mentioned in that.

Questions 3–10 refer to spontaneous generation, the idea that life can arise from
nonliving matter. Spontaneous generation was accepted by many in the scientific
community up until the mid-nineteenth century. A series of simple experiments tested the
validity of this idea.
3. Evidence used to support spontaneous generation was the observation that foods over
time become covered in maggots or fungal and bacterial growth. The inference behind
spontaneous generation is that there is no “parent” organism. Write this inference as a
hypothesis using an if–then sentence that suggests a way of testing it.
4. In 1668, Francesco Redi proposed a different hypothesis to explain the specific example
of maggots that appear on spoiled food. He had observed that maggots appear on meat a
few days after flies have been seen on the food. He inferred that the flies had left behind
eggs too small to see. Redi’s experiment is shown below. What conclusion can you draw
from Redi’s experiment?

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Experimental Scenarios!
Directions: For each of the scenarios below, identify the question, hypothesis, and variables. Then design
your own experiment and identify the variables.
Scenario One: The effect of fertilizer on plants.
Description: John’s biology class was studying carious ways to recycle materials, including the use of compost as
fertilizer. Members of John’s class investigated the effectiveness of various recycled materials in promoting plant
growth. John and three members of his lab group decided to compare the effect of compost and commercial
fertilizer on plant growth. Three flats of bean plants (25 plants per flat) were grown for five days. The plants
were then fertilized as follows: Flat A received 10 grams of commercial fertilizer; Flat B received 10 grams of
aged compost; and Flat C received no fertilizer. The plants received the same amount of sunlight and water each
day. At the end of 20 days, the students recorded the height of the plants in centimeters.
Scenario Two: The effectiveness of various metals in preventing rusting of iron.
Description: Several weeks after Allen conducted a classroom experiment on the effectiveness of various metals in
releasing hydrogen gas from hydrochloric acid, he read that the gas company was burying sheets of magnesium
next to iron pipelines in order to prevent rusting. Allen wondered if other active metals would also be effective in
preventing rust.
To investigate, he placed each of the following into a separate test tube containing water: one iron nail; one
iron nail wrapped with an aluminum strip; one iron nail wrapped with a magnesium strip; and one iron nail wrapped in
a lead strip. He used the same amounts of water from the same source, equal amounts of the metal wraps and the
same type of iron nails. At the end of five days, he described the amounts of rusting either as small, moderate or
large. He also recorded the color of the water.
Scenario Three: The effect of perfume on the behavior of bees.
Description: Joanna read that certain perfumes would cause bees to leave the hive and act in an agitated fashion.
She decided to investigate the response of bees to five different perfumes- Ralph Lauren, Armani, Mark Jacobs,
Vera Wang, and the last is an odorless liquid. She placed a saucer containing 20ml of perfume A 10 meters from a
beehive. She then recorded the total number of bees that emerged from the hive during a 15 minute interval and
made observations on their behavior. Using a 30 minute interval between tests to allow recovery time for the bees,
she then repeated the procedure to test the remaining three samples. Each test was conducted on the same day
with similar weather conditions.
Scenario Four: Testing an Antibiotic!
Description: Bacteriologists are often called to test new kinds of antibiotics on specific types of bacteria to
determine whether they will be effective. A common way of doing this is to follow the procedure outlined below.
1. Nutrient broth (a food supply for bacteria) is prepared, put into two test tubes, A & B, and then
sterilized.
2. A measured amount of the same bacteria is added to the nutrient broth and allowed to grow and multiply
for the same amount of time.
3. To test tube A the antibiotic is added, to test tube B nothing is added.
4. Both test tubes are incubated at 70 degrees F. for 24 hours.
Scenario Five: Different Plastics!
Description: There are many different types of plastic wraps that can be used for different purposes. One use of
a plastic wrap is to keep food from drying out in a freezer. The degree of effectiveness of this type of wrap is
based on how air tight it is. You decide to test the effectiveness of this type of brand A plastic wrap. Because
germinating seeds require air to grow, sprouts can be used to test the amount of air that moves through the
