Abstract: Mold is a type of fungus that obtains its energy from the organic matter it feeds and lives on. Mold possesses enzymes that break down biopolynomers which are absorbed by hyphae. I am going to determine whether mold grows at a higher rate of abudance higher temperatures rather than in low temperatures. The bread will be kept in different environments at different temperatures to observed the time taken for the mold to appear. Hypothesis: Bread mold will in grow at a more abundant…

it generates alternative conclusions. The first bit of information he refutes is the idea that mushrooms emit light to attract insects to their spores. He points out that the part of the mushroom that emits light is not the same as the part that has spores. Therefore, he suggests if that were the case, they would light up the area around their spores to attract insects. Since they don’t, this explanation holds no weight within the scientific community. The next point the lecturer attacks…

The endospore is very efficient at preserving the RNA and DNA. The endospores revert back into the vegetative stage through three processes: activation, germination, and outgrowth. These are the processes that represent the life cycle of a typical spore forming bacteria. Activation occurs when the cells are heated to a higher temperature but not so high that it kills the cells. Activated endospores are then conditioned to germinate when supplemented with necessary nutrients. Germination is a…

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, Pseudomonas ultimum, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Pseudomonas putida, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus megaterium, significantly decreased colony growth diameter (76.84%-45.69%) of dracaena leaf spot fungi as well as spore…

Penicillin was a accidental discovery, like many others, that helped a lot with medical needs. Penicillin is a non-bacteria spore that is used as a medical drug. Penicillin was discovered by Alexander Fleming and was later more developed and studied more by other scientist. Penicillin has a lot of history throughout time by being used as a drug to help in hospitals in many countries and help save many people's lives during world war two and D-day. Penicillin was discovered by a…

Bacillus anthraces is an intense irresistible malady brought on by Bacillus anthraces, a spore shaping, gram-positive bacillus. Related malady happens most much of the time in sheep, goats, and dairy cattle, which get spores through ingestion of polluted soil. People can get to be tainted through skin contact, ingestion, or inward breath of B. anthraces spores from contaminated creatures or creature items (as in "fleece sorter's infection" from introduction to goat hair). Individual…

To start with, look at the effectiveness of Antibacterial Hand Soap, against Bacillus and E.Coli. As it was stated, Bacillus is gram positive with spores and E. Coli is gram negative with no spores. But the hand soap was the most effective towards both. The reason behind this is because it contains the active ingredient Triclosan. Triclosan is a broad spectrum antiseptic that is effective because it blocks the active site…

Summary of how I identified Bacillus cereus. a. First, I performed the gram stain test, I then went on to do the spore stain. b. The results I obtained from the gram stain were gram positive rods, I could tell they were positive by the purple color to them and the rod shape by the comparison provided in the lab manual (Wilkosz, Peterson). After I confirmed the results I performed the spore stain, which indicated that my sample was positive so it contained endospores. The sample should have…

Intro Many years ago, when the discovery of Ringworms came to be, an abundant number of doctors believed it was due to worms called hence. According to David Gruby around 1843, he described a fungus that causes a certain ringworm. Ringworms were extremely common among poor people during the 1800s they thought it was caused by bad hygiene. Now it has been proven that it is not actually caused by a worm the proper medical term is Tinea which is a fungus. (Homei A, 2013) Ringworm is classified by…
