Coliform bacteria

Previously we were taught that our DNA is what make us unique. But what if I told you that our DNA didn’t do all the work? There is a protein in our bodies that makes our DNA coding complete and it’s called an epigenome. There are two proteins that make up one protein of a epigenome and they are histones. They are wrapped around the DNA and the Methyl group that are attached to it. Of course we are taught that our DNA makes up who we are as far as characteristics; However, epigenetics explain…

For my orthographic drawing, I created three different views of my putt putt boat. I created a top, front and side view of my boat. I created an orthographic drawing because it accurately shows the top, front and side views clearly and more precisely. I was representing a 3d object in 2 dimensions. My three views show how each side of the boat looks in detail and the accurate measurements of the boat. To create the hull, we shaped a piece of aluminum into a “pocket” by using sandpaper to sand…

enzyme used to produce ATP in respiration of a cell. It makes use of a proton gradient in the mitochondrial cell membrane to generate ATP. By transporting protons back across the membrane, using ADP and a phosphate ion to create ATP. Normally most bacteria can gain enough ATP to grow optimally through substrate level phosphorylation, however it has been shown that M. tuberculosis, both the active and the latent version, do not produce enough ATP to grow sufficiently. This makes ATP synthase an…

main topics could be the drug resistance mechanisms of bacteria. 2. First, spontaneous mutation which changes the drug target or upregulate drug efflux. Second, Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) that the genes in bacteria acquire to become resistant. HGT can cause multidrug resistance in a genetic event which make the bacteria become resistance. Third, the ability of bacteria that they can form biofilm while they are being infected. The bacteria provide themselves protection to against the drug…

infections in two people. In order to treat the infections, we had to conduct a Grams’ test to figure out what kind of infection the children had and then identify the antibiotic that would best treat the infection or if they were antibiotic-resistant bacteria. For this experiment, my hypothesis is that both culture’s A and B will not be antibiotic-resistant and will have at least one antibiotic that will be able to treat the infections. The null hypothesis is that culture’s A and B will be…

Most infections are simply treated with antibiotics or draining the infection. Certain bacteria, like MRSA, are resistant to some antibiotics making them harder to treat. Staph has been recognized as one of the most important bacteria that causes disease in humans. The duration of infection can last anywhere from days to years, from the time of exposure. More serious staph infections like pneumonia and bloodstream…

“ Bacterial meningitis affects over 4,000 people and causes 500 deaths in the U.S. each year. 6,000 cases of pneumococcal meningitis are reported each year in the U.S. Meningococcal meningitis infects about 2,600 people in the U.S. each year.” What this text is saying is that bacterial meningitis is really harmful and can lead to deaths around the world, mainly affecting young children and the elderly. Bacterial meningitis harms and affects many people who are infected by the disease and is…

(Woese, 1987). In the biosphere of microbes, whereas viruses are regarded as minuscule in size, the Pithovirus is known to be the opposite. It has been recorded as the largest virus that has ever been revealed and increasingly massive compared to some bacteria (Woese, 1987). Reports indicate that majority of viruses replicate themselves via host's molecular machinery hijacking. Nonetheless, the Pithovirus is known to be increasingly independent as well as having its individual replication…

Why It's Real A recent study revealed that patients with chronic fatigue syndrome have low levels of cytokines in their blood, especially in the early stages of the illness. Cytokines are proteins made by the cells of the immune system. They are responsible for blocking viral replication and driving inflammatory response.

contains numerous organisms including bacteria, viruses and fungi. These gut microbes have co-evolved with host through for a very long time and at baseline, provide a beneficial relationship with the host. This paper will focus on bacteria, which are multiple factors more than human cells in number. These bacteria have a significant effect on humans and play a significant role in maintaining one’s health. Despite the countless research projects that target these bacteria, their composition,…
