A common concern in the agriculture industry is the public 's concern on GMOs. The public is very uneducated on the stance of GM products. By conducting this survey our goal is to educate the general public about GM products. When emailing Monsanto about GM crops one of the questions asked was “How long have GM products been used?” Monsanto 's response, “Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) aren’t just about food. They’ve been around for quite some time - long before anyone began developing…

Niklas Aggelidis Dr. Blackwood English 11 6 March 2015 Genetic Engineering – How far will we go? We are living in a world which is changing with an exponential pace; every day humans are creating new inventions, gathering new knowledge about scientific phenomena and starting new empirical projects. Genetic engineered organisms are yet part of our life on a daily basis, even though we do not recognize it as that. Already today there are heated debates about how far we should go with genetically…

Plasmids are extra chromosomal DNA within some bacteria that exist as circular structures. Although they are not essential for survival of the bacterium, they often do confer many environment advantages such as antibiotic resistance. One bacteria of interest is E. coli, a gram-negative organism that is part of normal human gut flora. Some strains of E. coli are pathologic to humans, however some strains are beneficial. For example, one strain produces vitamin K, an essential nutrient. In this…

Importance of Microbes Introduction It was long ago when Man realized that, along with animals and plants, he was also accompanied by some other organisms as well, and though which remained hidden from his eyes. Those organisms were unveiled by Anton Van Leeuwenhoek, who first saw the tiny organisms which accompanied Man through the lenses of microscope. Later it was found out that microorganisms inhabited each and every surface of earth, on man himself, or even inside him, resided under the…

The Identification of Two Unknown Bacteria Mixtures Through the Method of Characteristic Testing and Elimination Khoa Vuong TA: Charlie Roll Micro 3301 4/11/24. Abstract: There is a surplus amount of microorganisms that are out there in the world. A single swab of any surface, including the human body, will yield many different types of microorganisms. Once grown on a nutrient-rich medium, the identification of these microorganisms can be made by isolating pure colonies and performing and using…

From ancient times harvest plants and creatures have been enhanced by particular rearing. The start of agribusiness was the determination of wild grasses and consequent rearing to structure the forerunners of advanced staples, for example, wheat, rice and maize. Choice techniques have attained to immense contrasts in structure and capacity from single wild species: e.g. the Great Dane and Chihuahua pooch mixtures from the wolf. Besides, "unnatural" half and halves - i.e. making breeds crosswise…

What is biodiversity? Introduction Biodiversity is defined as the variety of life on Earth at all its levels and includes genes to ecosystems, as well as the ecological and evolutionary processes that sustain it (Cardinale, 2012). The Earth’s biodiversity has long been a source of wonderment and scientific curiosity, but is increasingly becoming a source of concern. The sheer diversity of life is of inestimable value. Biodiversity has a number of functions on Earth, from providing a foundation…
