food security. (question 3 of Chapter 3) Subsequently, agricultural expansion has contributed to widespread land degradation and climatic changes through the emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs) from sources, such as soils, biomass burning, enteric fermentation, rice cultivation, fertilisers and manure management. Climate change and land degradation are intricately linked because of the feedback between land degradation and climatic elements. Climate change aggravates land degradation, especially…

Gram-positive cocci are an interesting group of bacteria to study. Some common species include Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Enterococcus faecalis, Streptococcus pyogenes, and Sarcina lutea. Gram-positive cocci have a gram positive cell wall, cocci morphology and many different styles of grouping. Some species have begun to exhibit a resistance to fluoroquinolone by the use of altering the drug binding site and the use of a membrane pump (Hooper 2002). Thanks to the…
