Microorganism

Global climate change is modifying the population of microorganisms and the distribution of their species. Microorganisms live in environments where more than type of species exist. Each species of microorganism plays a major, minor or no role in intricate groups. There is variation amongst microorganism and because of this all species of microorganisms will not react to global climate change in the same way. These microorganisms have a vital role in ensuring components such as carbon and…

effects against certain microorganisms that are either pathogenic or food spoiler. They are particularly effective against lactic acid bacteria that are a common agent of food spoilage, especially in dairy products (Rai, 2011). Also, the nicin is effective against pathogenic microbes such as Listeria monocytogenes and Clostridium botulinum (Dworkin and Falkow, 2006). Additionally, nisin is a stable under higher temperatures that pathogenic and food spoiling microorganisms cannot survive. Nisin…

infections influencing the world. Undeveloped cells and Human Development Undeveloped cells have gigantic potential in wellbeing and restorative research yet to completely outfit this potential, researchers are concentrate how foundational microorganisms change,…

IMPORTANCE OF MICROBIOLOGY Microbiology is the study of microorganisms and their interaction with the humans and environment. Microorganisms are small organisms that cannot be seen with an unaided eye (naked eye). It is through microbiology that the existence of lead to the discovery of microorganisms, and with this discovery there was a lot of changes to everyday life. IMPORTANCE IN HUMAN LIFE Photosynthesis was able to take…

fields. Basically, this lab taught us the proper general protocol to use to obtain and grow the microorganisms we took from the inside of the human mouth. It taught us how to properly stain and mount the samples we grew. Of course it taught us how to view our stained specimen under a light microscope. Grow the microorganisms we obtained was the first part of the lab. What we used to culture our microorganisms was a Nutrient Agar Plate. Its general purpose is to be a nutrient medium used for the…

Extraordinary Science of Microbiology There are a wide variety of microorganisms in this world. The major groups of microorganisms include bacteria and fungi. These microorganisms are found all over the earth. The study of microorganisms started in the mid-1600’s. Most people believed that microorganisms only spread deadly diseases, but scientists proved that microorganisms can also be beneficial to human life. The wide variety of microorganisms that are found everywhere are most well…

is the science that studies the community of microorganisms in a given ecosystem to promote health and balance in the ecosystem. The intestinal microbiota is the population of living microorganisms in the digestive tract. A large part of scientists work deciphering the genome of the microbiota. Today, modern techniques of study of the microbiota have given us a knowledge of a large number of bacteria that are not cultivable, and as such microorganisms that inhabit us, relate homeostasis. The…

Q fever, originally known as query fever, is an infection caused by the microorganism Coxiella Burnetii. “Q fever was first reported in the medical literature in 1937 by Edward Derrick who named the infection Query Fever.” The bacterium belongs to the directive of legionellales. The bacterium typically presents with flu-like symptoms. In some people, the infection can reappear years later. The more fatal form of Q fever can cause a destruction of your heart, liver, brain, and lungs. It’s…

6. Three Nutrient Agar Plate (NAP) were contaminated as follow to illustrate that there are microorganism all around us and to demonstrate the necessity for proper aseptic technique. a) The lid of the first agar plate was removed and the exposed agar was placed in the building on the laboratory rack for 3 hours. The lid was replaced and labelled as “air”. It was then incubated at room temperature. b) A second Petri plate was divided in half using a marker. Two cotton sterile swab were moisten in…

Molds are multi- or unicellular while yeasts are unicellular in structure. Molds grow in the form of tangled mass called the mycelium which is composed of filamentous hyphae while yeasts are spherical or oval-shaped. Molds are colourful while yeast are colourless. Molds can reproduce through small spores sexually or asexually while yeast reproduce asexually by budding or binary fission through mitosis in which a nucleus is divided into two or more nuclei. Mould can grow on food with low pH…
