BIOS 242 Week 5 iLab: Biotechnology
Introduction
The purpose of this lab experiment is to take the inside of the bacteria’s cell and create a foreign protein. This will … accomplished via genetic engineering. Four test will … performed. The test that will … performed during this lab included Indole Production Test, Mannitol Fermentation Test, Methyl Red Test, and Citrate Utilization Test.
When performing the tests considering the following case study:
A food chain was recently … foods. A lawsuit is … against this major food chain. Allegedly, this food contamination, came at a stiff price, costing the plaintiff’s mother to die behind the consumption of this contaminated food. Scientist were called in to invested these claims.
The results came back positive. Organism were indeed detected at the storage facility in which the food was being stored.
