Coliform bacteria

This article changed my perception of bacteria completely. Before reading The Ultimate Social Network I had a negative view of bacterial life. I didn’t comprehend the essential role bacterium plays in maintaining optimal human heathy. Sure pathogens are no walk in the park, but now I realize…

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…

invading and “chop up” their DNA. This defense mechanism is composed of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats found within the genome of bacteria. This is the origin of the CRISRP acronym. These CRISPR sequences are specific patterns of DNA sequences that are capable of being edited out of genes. Using the CRISPR system, bacteria are able to destroy the genome of invading viruses and thus prevent the virus from being able to replicate and survive in its host.…

leaky gut syndrome. Under ordinary circumstances, your gut has just enough permeability to allow the absorption of vital nutrients. However, certain dietary and environmental factors can greatly increase your intestinal permeability, allowing bacteria, undigested food, microbes, and candida to leak into the rest of your body. This can result in chronic illness. Leaky gut syndrome is most commonly triggered by: Inflammatory Foods – Gluten is an inflammatory food, and for those who are…

Biological functions: The main biological functions for CRP to determine via its ability to identify pathogens and injured cells of the host and mediate their elimination via activating the complement system and phagocytic cells (Brundish and Baddiley,1968 ; Weiser et al., 1997). CRP binds to microorganisms and mediates their killing to more recent observations of protection against bacterial pathogens in CRP transgenic mice. The most significant evidence has supported the notion that CRP plays…

The function of Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic cell components by FATIMA MOHIDIN Eukaryotic Cell Eukaryotic cells are cells that contain a nucleus and have membrane bound organelles they are multicellular cells and undertake reproduction by the process cell division known as meiosis and mitosis. There are 2 types of eukaryotic cell: plant and animal cells. They contain organelles such ribosomes, smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, nucleolus, centrioles, cell membrane,…

study was to preform many tests to isolate and identify what types of bacteria inhabiting the sample of forest soil tested. Methods: Many steps were taken to isolate and identify the different types…

Blackburn 1 MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) has become one of the fastest growing bacteria of the decade. This infection can only be treated by very powerful antibiotics, but it is resistant to some antibiotics. One out of 20 people will get this infection, most will get it from the hospital, but some can get it even before they reach the hospital grounds. There are four different types of the MRSA infection. The first one is the skin infection or also known as Necrotizing…

Summary The purpose and goal of this project was to perform a number of tests in the lab and use a dichotomous key to eventually classify a Gram-positive cocci that we were given on March 25th. The key has seven tests to help you determine a certain bacteria, your tests will later on lead you down a certain side to contribute in defining the genus and species. All the following procedures were carried out on the gram positive cocci unknown in this order: Catalase, Oxidase, Nitrate Reduction,…

There are several topics that we considered for identifying competence in problem solving in the group. The considered topics include, “Saving Endangered Species,” “Global Warming (Climate Change),” “College Tuition in America,” “Trump? Is he a problem for the America?,” Racism (Prejudice),” “Language Deprivation for the Deaf Children,” “ Preventing the Enlargement of Terrorist Groups,” “The Use of Antibiotics in Fast Food Production,” “Zika Virus,” “Nuclear Weapon,” and “Getting to the Mars.”…
