How Carbon Sources Affect Biofilm Growth Yeast is single celled and eukaryotic. Biofilms of bacteria can adhere to a device and allow them to withstand environmental changes, which prevents antibiotics from penetrating the cells to kill them. When shifting from a planktonic state to a biofilm, the cells change its proteins. Biofilms produce FLO genes, which code for glycoproteins, cause the yeast to stick together. This is what helps the biofilm form. Once it is forms, the species within the…

Girl used to mean small boy or girl. The word “girl” was not initially used to refer to a specific gender. It used to mean “child” or “young person” regardless of the gender. Obviously, our language has changed and now girl is gender specific and sometimes age specific. This evolution can often be refered to as slang. Slang is often derived from old words with new meanings or completely new words with new meanings. Because of its unstructured nature, many linguists believe that slang is…

Introduction Throughout the course of a 24 hour period, an individual will make numerous personal choices that will either positively or negatively affect their life. The decisions to not touch the hot stove, to eat instead of starve, or to enjoy the company of a loved one are all judgements that can be settled in one’s own brain. As a decision to not touch the stove in order to prevent harm to oneself is made, why is it that alcohol, which may also be determined as destructive to the human…

Argument To initiate an argument that stands up for Staphylococcus aureus in being a helpful or good bacterium is something I just cannot do. I can argue that the bacteria S. aureus is a terrible and very communicable bacterium, that I can do! I, myself fought S. aureus in one of the worst places possible, my buttock! I know exactly how I caught it as well, I work in the medical field. Though not in a hospital where S. aureus is mostly contracted from hospital to patients, a clinic works…

Discuss the role of thermoregulation in tetrapods as an adaptation for life on land. [6] Enzymes serve as catalysts for chemical reactions in the body, and they function more efficiently within select temperature ranges. As such, it is advantageous for vertebrates to maintain a body temperature that is consistently within this ideal range. Thermoregulation is the maintenance of this ideal body temperature range. Aquatic habitats are naturally thermoregulatory due to the ability of water to…

Producing the fuel is proving to be costly. “Presently the process of extracting cellulose from the plant is proving difficult and expensive.” (Clark,Josh “Grassoline” 6) The cost in order to produce the needed enzymes for the fermentation process will further raise the cost. However, even with the additional cost cellulosic ethanol at the end of the day would still be cheaper than gasoline. “The cost per gallon of cellulosic ethanol would be $2.70. That’s still cheaper than gasoline…

facility located in Texas which will gather, according to David Biello fromYale, “will capture more than 1 million tons of CO2 annually.” Another example of such technology is a brewery for corn ethanol located in Illinois which captures the CO2 fermentation and buries it. And for solutions that can are done common people are, which according to New Hampshire Department of environmental sciences is: Don't leave electronics appliances on for too long, and use energy efficient light bulbs and…

Edge Computing Applications in the Dairy Industry and What It Can Do For You In the past 100 years, technology has come from patenting air conditioners and zippers to 3D printers, drones and self-driving cars. Never has the ancient occupation of farming had more resources at its disposal to improve production and sustainability. Most “precision agriculture” conversations focus on crop applications; using GPS and thermal imaging to detect areas of high pest populations or disease and using…

Fortification is one way in which food processing can alter the bioactive profile of a food. Significant health crises have been resolved via the implementation in 1924 of the addition of iodine to salt to prevent goiter and the 1940s implementation of the additions of vitamin D to milk to prevent rickets and niacin to flour to prevent pellagra. A more recent example is the establishment of the addition of folate to bread and breakfast cereals to prevent neural tube defects in the offspring of…

They occur singly or in pairs or chains. 1.2 Economic importance: Enterococcus faecalis is also used as a probiotic for production of Mediterranean cheese and meat products that is normally responsible for organoleptic nature of final product in fermentation reactions. 1.3 Habitat: Enterococci are extremely hardy microbes such that they are able to inhabit at wide range of temperatures (10°and 45°C), pH values (4•6 and…
