Cellulose is a linear polysaccharide that consists of glucose residues with β-1, 4-glycosidic linked in the main chain and is the most common natural renewable biopolymer. Its degradation is made by the hydrolytic action of the cellulase, a multiple enzymatic system. Cellulase due to its massive applicability has been used in various industrial processes such as biofuels like bioethanol, lactic acid and single cell protein, through saccharification lignocellulosics or hydrolysis of cellulosic…

Anthrax is caused by spore forming bacterium. It mostly affects animals. Humans can be infected if come in contact with infected animals. It was most common with sheep and cattle. In 1881, Louis Pasteur focused his attention on anthrax. Louis Pasteur performed public experiments in which he injected one group of animals with an anthrax vaccine he developed (9). Pasteur gave 25 shots of anthrax vaccine he had created with a weakened anthrax bacteria (8). Pasteur gave both rounds of the vaccine…

deaths before explaining how her brother’s passing away affected her. The language she uses to illustrate the theme of death is like that of a fungus, as it claims her family members and friends as its victims. In part, the definition is that fungi are spore-producing organisms that feed on organic matter. As such, racism, poverty, drug addiction, and alcoholism feed and killed (like fungus) on many people that she knew. Similarly, over one hundred-years before Ward, her family, friends, and…

A cell is the basic unit of living organisms. From single cellular organisms to humans to trees, cells compose all of them. However, cells are split into two domains, those being Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes. Prokaryotes are all unicellular and are less advanced than eukaryotes; meaning that they lack a nucleus and only have a nucleoid region. They also lack membrane bound organelles. Prokaryotes are then broken into two kingdoms, Bacteria and Archaea. Bacteria are the less advanced of the two and…

Rugs are known to be one of the earliest forms of home furnishings and dates back many years. Rugs are not only used for decoration, but also soundproofing and insulation. Due to their strong, durable design, they can last many generations, yet they need to be properly cared for and kept in pristine condition. Rug cleaning seems like a simple task, but there are a lot of key factors that can make it go wrong, should you not do it through professionals. Cleaning a rug takes careful inspection…

C. botulinum is a toxic bacteria deadly to humans. It is found in soils, and decaying animal carcasses throughout the world. It is an obligate anaerobic, spore-forming, gram-positive, rod shaped bacteria. Botulism was discovered by Émile van Ermengem in 1897 after a contaminated piece of ham poisoned thirty people. He was the first to isolate the bacteria, and determined that C. botulinum was capable of producing heat-resistant endospores. He is also credited with discovering the deadly toxin C.…

Impetigo is the most common bacterial infection in children. This is a highly contagious infection of the superficial layers of the epidermis and is primarily caused by Streptococcus pyogenes or Staphylococcus aureus (1). Sometimes Streptococcus or strep bacteria can cause impetigo. It is most common in children between the ages of two and six, although anyone can become infected. The most common form of impetigo is called Impetigo contagiosa. This type usually starts as a red sore on your…

The world drinks 1.6 billion cups of coffee each day (Fiegl 2012). People pick it up on their way to work and class. It has helped college students survive many all-nighters. It provides an avenue for old friends to catch up, as well as for new relationships to form. Coffee is worth over $100 billion worldwide, which means it is even more valuable than commodities such as gold, oil, corn, and sugar. Coffee is grown in over 50 countries worldwide, and the America 's make up 67% of all coffee…

Could Poe write about Ebola. I believe Edgar Allen Poe could write about Ebola. The author wrote about the red death and it has symptoms that are similar. For example the two diseases have blood or bleeding oozing out of the body's spores. For instance Poe wrote about death, disease and horror. There is a possibility Poe could be talking about Ebola when he wrote the "Masque of the Red Death." From reading, I know that Ebola and the red death both cause fear. No one wants to help the sick…

Ecological succession is the process in which ecosystems develop and change over time. The habitats are constantly changing, and will never stay the same. There are two main types of succession, primary and secondary. Primary succession is one of the two types of biological and ecological succession. It is the establishment and development of an ecosystem that was lacking any inhabitants beforehand. Example would include melting glaciers, volcanic eruptions, or landslides. Secondary…
