the years. It is unfortunate that the remaining species are also faced with possible extinction. Before the British settlers settled in 1788, there were about ten million koalas. It is very unfortunate that they are about forty-three thousand now. Chlamydia is the major reason behind the decrease in the population of koalas in Australia. It is an intractable and…

Introduction: Chlamydomonas is a unicellular green alga that contains two flagellas that are used for swimming. It is found in fresh water, in oceans, and in soil. Chlamydomonas are easily grown and controlled. We study chlamydomonas because we are able to easily deflagellate them and then allow them to regenerate their flagella using different chemicals. Due to this characteristic, we are able to study how flagella growth is affected and the rate of flagella growth once deflagellated.…

The duo found that similar microbes were found in humans as well. The affected areas were the urethra of males, cervices of women and the eyes of their infants (Dimitrakov, 2002).…
