  1. The Effect of Saliva on Bacteria Mackenzie Abate 9th Grade

  2. Problem • Does saliva have an effect on bacteria? • If so, what is this effect?

  3. Research E. coli B. cereus Gram positive Facultative anaerobe Beta hemolysis Food-bourne illnesses Produces a emetic toxin: ETE; three enterotoxins: NBL, Nhe and EntK • Gram negative • Facultative anaerobe • Heterotrophic • Mixed acid fermentation: lactate, succinate, ethanol, carbon dioxide and acetate • Motile • Conjugation, transformation and transduction

  4. Research S. mutans S. epidermidis Gram negative Non-motile Facultative anaerobe Grows on plastic objects in body Produces slime • Gram positive • Heterotrophic • Metabolizes sucrose to lactic acid • Allowed to grip to teeth because of receptors • Found mainly on teeth

  5. Research Human Saliva Dog Saliva • 98% water • Jobs: • Digestion: carbs from polysaccharides to maltose • Antibacterial: lysozyme • Oral Hygiene: teeth and mouth; residue, particles, and epithelial tissue.

  6. Research Cat Saliva Amylase

  7. Research Lysozyme

  8. Hypothesis

  9. Materials • Bacteria: Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Streptococcal mutans • Controls: Amylase, Lysozyme,
