Firmicutes

significant changes in faecal microbiota (Walker et al., 2011). A high fat, high protein and low fibre diet usually results in an increase in certain types of bacteria such as bacteriodetes and Bilophila wadsworthia while decreasing others like Firmicutes (Louis, Hold, & Flint,…

Intercropping in Sugarcane Cultivation Influenced the Soil Properties and Enhanced the Diversity of Vital Diazotrophic Bacteria Abstract To investigate the effect of sugarcane intercropping cultivation (peanut and soybean) on the soil properties and diazotrophic bacterial diversity, soil survey was conducted at four different locations of Guangxi, China. Principal component analysis of soil chemical properties showed difference among intercropping and monoculture samples. Next to this, PCA…

Introduction Microbes are essential to everyday life. Going from the basic food we eat to biogeochemical cycles, if we didn 't have biogeochemical cycles we would no longer have any of the resources that we have now; for example, there is plenty of nitrogen in the atmosphere but it 's all not available until it has been fixed, and that is when the microbes come in and changes the nitrogen in a way that is usable. Humans come in contact with microbes every day there is never a time there are…

1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF CELECOXIB Celecoxib is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, which was the first COX-2 inhibitor approved by the FDA. It is mainly used for the treatment of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and familial adenomatous polyposis. Celecoxib was primarily designed to decrease the risk of adverse gastrointestinal effects, but several reports of cardiovascular events expressed concerns about its use. Celecoxib has a moderate absorption rate, and…

children and teenagers. Some of the side affects of this disease include having a sore throat, swollen tonsils, and pain when swallowing . The pathogenic bacteria Streptococcus pyogenes causes this disease. Streptococcus pyogenes is in the phylum Firmicutes, the class Bacilli, the order Lactobacillales and the family Streptococcaeceae (Brenner, 2005). Streptococcus pyogenes natural habitat is the human body, being found in the upper respiratory tract, digestive tract, oral cavity and on the…

The idea of evolution was once taboo for its new ideas at the time, it was seen as wrong because it challenged ideas already established about the world, especially how life came to be. Evolution is a relatively new idea discovered by Charles Darwin. This discovery came to be when Darwin was traveling along the Galapagos islands where he studied finches and discovered that these finches had all originated from one species of finch and eventually became differentiated leading the species to split…

Natalie Buttaccio Biol 251 Oliphant January 20, 2017 1. According to Bonnie Bassler in the video TedTalk, the human body is considered 90% prokaryotic because there are ten times more bacterial cells than human cells on a human being. Humans have approximately 30,000 genes, but you actually have ten times more bacterial genes. Bassler considers humans about 90% bacterial. These bacterial cells literally almost do everything, from digesting our food, making our vitamins, keeping us healthy, etc.…

2009; Harman et al. 2004). In the present study, individual microbes increases the plant growth over infected control under glasshouse. However, a further enhancement of growth parameters was recorded with combined inoculation of BA, SA and HL. The firmicutes (Bacillus and related genera), actinobacteria (Streptomyces related genera) and fungi (Trichoderma/Hypocrea related genera) have been widely studied and reported as effective against a range of fungal pathogens among different crops…

Probiotics are live organisms that confer a health benefit on the host when administered. The live organism to function in the gut needs to surpass the gastric juices and bile exposure the gastrointestinal (GI). It must thrive and multiply in the digestive tract, be safe, effective and maintain its potency for is shelf life to function. Many probiotic products come in yogurt, fermented milk, powder/capsule, or beverages. Different strains of micro-organisms are used for various functions such…

asexual and reproduce by binary fission. It belongs to Kingdom Bacteria because it has peptidoglycan in its cell wall. It is unicellular and lack nucleus. It is obligate anaerobe as well as have ability to produce by spore so it falls under Phylum Firmicutes. It is classified in class Clostridia and further in order Clostridiales due to its spore forming ability. It is in Genus Clostridium because of being gram positive rod shaped(bacillus). It is originally founded in blood sausage and Latin…
