This field focuses on how to make predictions about biological systems and analyze data to provide more insight on how living organisms function and how its genome relates to its biology. Following the determination of the insulin sequence, Frederick Sanger realized that manually comparing several sequences was impractical (Moody 2004)).…

in digestion and taking up space to prevent disease causing pathogen from taking over. Transient bacterias just pass through, they donot take over an area for too long in the body.

There are two other terms that come to paly when the word symbiosis is define. Commensalism is when two unlike organism have a relationship…

temperatures (Ozogul et al, 2004). The preservation techniques used to reduce the oxygen concentration include Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) and Vacuum packaging (VP). However in a low oxygen atmosphere, non-proteolytic Clostridium Botulinum type E will grow and produce toxins (Sivertsvik et al, 2003). The growth of this microorganism in MAP will cause a change in the colour, odour and texture (Ozogul et al, 2004). In addition, MAP packaging of fish causes drip loss, histamine production…
