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…

Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Of Study Oral health is a state of being free from infectious or disease and it has a profound effect on general health (Kiyoshi-Teo & Blegen,2015). According to Pettit, McCann, Schneiderman, Farren & Campbell (2012), there is association between chronic oral infection with the heart and lung disease. Patient with underlying disease such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is higher risk of aspiration of contaminated respiratory if oral care…

Discussion Microscope is an optical instrument that have magnifying lens which is used for inspecting objects that is too small to be seen or to be seen distinctly and in details by the unaided eye. Microscope also is an optical instrument that keep observe specimen in resolution and magnitude way. However, there are some microbes such as viruses that cannot be observe by certain microscope and this microbes has to be observe using electronic microscope which has more magnification power. In…

Brandy Lauder broke a toe and had to get orthopedic surgery to get it repaired. She was then prescribed antibiotics for ten days. The antibiotics depleted the bacteria that kept Clostridium difficile under control, which caused her to get a debilitating infection. She first got diarrhea and then went into shock.

Bacteria is a broad domain of the prokaryotic cells in which are very small containing of no nucleus, a small amount of organelles and a single chromosome loop. Bacteria reproduces asexually through binary fission meaning it duplicates its genetic material and then divides into two parts. Bacteria can also exchange genetic material through conjugation, when DNA is directly transferred from one bacterial cell to another, the two bacteria then merge and share the genetic material. There are two…

1. Brief history of the company/factory ? In 1930, Dr. Minoru Shirota, who was conducting research in a microbiology lab at the Medical Faculty of Kyoto University in Japan. He succeed in culturing a strain of lactic acid bacteria beneficial to human health. This bacterium was named "Lactobacillus casei Shirota strain. It took Dr. Shirota another 5 years of research to find the right food medium for the Lactobacillus casei Shirota bacteria. In 1935 the first bottle of Yakult, a fermented…
