Hence, a lot more attention is paid to different food extracts such as green tea extracts, grape seed extracts and ginger extracts as they posed excellent antimicrobial, antioxidant and anti-carcinogenic properties (Martin et al. 2009). These extracts have great potential in improving the…

sustainable (Mayer, 2016). Instead of relying on antibiotics completely, he believes that certain ingredients from human diet trends would help keep animals healthy even with low usage of antimicrobials (Mayer, 2016). Live bacteria from yogurt, such as Lactobacillus acidophilus, has shown to have the same impact in animals as it would in humans (Mayer, 2016). This method of developing and using probiotics has certainly caught attention of many researchers around the country. Starting from early…

Lignocellulosic-based biomass Unlike starch, lignocellulosic biomass is a plant-based material composed of lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulose. This class of biomass includes wood and fibrous materials from organic sources, agricultural wastes, organic municipal wastes, and organic industrial wastes [18]. Agricultural wastes contribute as the major lignocellulosic resources investigated for biofuel production. Among them are oil palm biomass [19,20], corn stalk [21], rice straw [22], wheat…

The complex evolution of humans has allowed for the development of a mammal so advanced that its population has grown beyond exponentially in a relatively short time scale. The complexity of humans is due in part to intelligence in the form of a large, well-developed brain. An organ of this size and importance is what is known as an expensive tissue, meaning the body requires a substantial amount of energy to produce it (Mink et al. 1981). To explain the relationship between energy and brain…

NATURE OF BUSINESS Consuming probiotic food which is food that contains good bacteria is a common trend among consumers due to increase in awareness of healthy eating habits. Yakult Honsha Co., Ltd. which is located in Tokyo, Japan is one of the companies that ventured this industry. The roots of their business started by a microorganisms research lead by Minoru Shirota that results a new strengthen bacteria. Well known for their probiotic drink; Yakult, they already emerged their market to…

The objective of this lab was to isolate and identify an unknown Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria through the use of various microbiological techniques. The identification of the genus and species for the unknown culture should be obtained based on the characteristics for Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria. Bacteria are prokaryotic microorganisms that lack a nucleus and therefore all its genetic information is stored in the cytoplasm of the cell. The bacterial cell envelope…

dangers of the enterprise is the disappearance of the spirit of innovation. Hunan Taizinai Group is an example of what will happen when a company stop to innovation.

Characteristics of Helicobacter pylori This gram-positive spiral bacteria discovered by Warren and Marshall in 1984. They found the bacteria in the stomach…

Normal flora is the colonisation of human tissues by a diverse mixture of microorganisms. This colonisation begins at birth with pioneer species, depending on physiochemical factors. The normal flora inhibits the skin, oral cavity, upper respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, urogenital and conjunctival membranes. They are commensal bacteria; getting shelter and nourishment from the host without causing harm (Gould, 2012). To a healthy individual, most normal flora is harmless, however some…

Unique microorganisms reside on and within tissues and body fluids of mammals, and are known as the commensal microbiota. It is estimated that the human body contains 3x1013 eukaryotic cells and 4x1013 bacteria (1). By early adulthood host cells are outnumbered by microbial species by 100 fold (2). These microbes are far from neutral bystanders, and are suspected to influence the developing immune system in responses from cytokine balance, to lymphocyte responses, to antibody induction (3). In…
