Experimental trials were performed by students over a timeframe of three weeks to determine the identity of three unknown bacteria contained in broth medium stored in labeled test tubes that were randomly assigned containing: one Gram positive bacterium, one Gram-negative paracolon, and one Gram-negative coliform (Carson, 2016). The unknown sample assigned in this experiment was #19. After initially streaking the solution on clean streak plates and TSA agar, the identity was determined from a…

- Pseudomonas syringae and the type III secretion system: P. syringae is a gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium responsible for many diseases on woody plants. It acts opportunistically targeting plants wounded from abiotic or biotic factors. P. syringae is responsible for some severe crop diseases such as bacteria speck, spot, and blight of tomato and soybeans. Interestingly, it has a vast host range with over 50 pathovars. The success of the pathogen is attributed to its specificities (Sarkar &…

Lesson 2: Assignment 1-Genetic Information Resources, Assignment 2- Critical Thinking Exercise, and Assignment 3-Definition Matrix Tabytha Balash Ohio University  Assignment 1: Genetic Information Resources There are several areas to retrieve information on genetics. The following paragraphs will summarize three organizations that provide information on genetics, genetic counseling, and genetic testing. The summary will include what information is obtainable from the site, who supports the…

INTRODUCTION Microbes are those microscopic organisms that can cause diseases in the human body. These microbes migrate with locomotive organelles called FLAGELLA, a very vigorous nanomotor that is highly conserved across bacterial species. Flagella allow the microbes to move towards favourable environments. Further studies on flagella has revealed that it not only serves the purpose of locomotion but also plays a very crucial role in bacterial pathogenicity(14). A flagella has mainly three…

Another factor that affects the Central Valleys air pollution is the rapidly growing population the region is experiencing. There are currently around 6.5 million people who live in the Central Valley, “According to the 2010 U.S. Census. Between 1990 and 2009, the population here grew 44 percent (compared with 24 percent growth statewide) (Jennings, 2010)”. These new residents are making the Central Valley their new homes largely because of the affordable housing. Coastal areas have much higher…

As we get older people become responsible, as adults we are responsible for several things. Through time we probably have many responsibilities that we stress over and we might develop major health issues. Two of the most common chronic headaches in the world are tension and migraine headaches. These headaches are mostly common in adults could start at any age but it 's mostly common in the ages of 20’s-40’s. In the US 12% percent of Americans suffer from headaches like tension and migraine…

known until middle age at which point patients often need valve replacement surgery. 17. Describe the growth and physical characteristics of Neisseria. One distinguishing feature of Neisseriae is the bean shape. They do not develop flagella or spores, but the pathogenic forms develop a capsule and are gram-negative. They have an outer cell membrane and have lipopolysaccharides in the cell wall, as well as fimbriae. Neisseria are aerobic or microaerophilic and have an oxidative form of…

The Permian Mass Extinction Introduction There are five major extinctions in history: the Late Devonian, the Ordovician-Silurian, the Permian-Triassic, the Triassic-Jurassic, and the Cretaceous-Tertiary. Known as the Big Five, these extinctions exceeded all others in size and destruction, each killing more than 60% of species from that period. Each one acted as a bottleneck, allowing the survival of only a fraction of the organisms that had been thriving before, from which evolution and life…

Fermentation has been used by mankind for centuries to make useful products such as cheese, breads, yogurts and alcohol beverages. During fermentation, some strains of yeast decompose sugars to derive energy, and in the process they produce ethanol as a waste product. When bread dough is being made, yeast is added to make dough rise. This occurs because the yeast ferments sugar releasing carbon dioxide which causes the dough to rise and creates holes in the bread. This carbon dioxide released…
