Lab 2 – Water Quality and Contamination

Abstract In this lab, the water quality, contamination, and treatment were investigated. The ability of contaminants (oil, vinegar, and laundry detergent) to remain in the water after passing through the ground was examined. Also, the simple filtering procedure was assessed for its effectivity in purifying water contaminated with soil. The quality of tap water, Fiji, and Dasani bottled waters by the content of ammonia, chlorides, iron, phosphates, total alkalinity, total chlorine, total hardness, and pH was analyzed and compared. All of the studied contaminants proved to remain in the volume of water after passing through the soil; the proposed ...

Part A:

1) Filobasidiella neoformans 2) Cryptococcus neoformans 3) Christensen’s Urea agar 4) Person to person through inhaling the aerosol droplets. Part B: Similarities and individualities between Cryptococcus sp. vs Histoplasma sp. Cryptococcus sp. belongs to basidiomycetes that consist of dimorphic life cycles, one is prominent yeast form and second is the hyphal form that produces infectious basidiospores. Similarly, Histoplasma sp. also is a dimorphic fungus with yeast forms and hyphal forms. These both species are responsible for meningoencephalitis and meningitis that is caused by its encapsulated form. The most prevalent etiologic agent of Cryptococcus sp. is Cryptococcus neoformans while ...
