One possible scenario for the transfer of the toxin-coregulated pilus to B. subtilis is the fertilization of crops using human waste. Waste contaminated with V. cholerae cells could be used to fertilize crops that have B. subtilis growing on their roots, acting as an anti-fungal. Since V. cholerae are…
scientists to understand the consequences, they had to mutate the sequence of a human nicotinic acetylcholine receptor to replace the frog’s receptors and vice versa. They found by changing the receptors of the frogs made them less sensitive to the toxin. However, it also made them less responsive to the proteins that are produced by the body. Michael Pfrender, an evolutionary biologist, says, “The intriguing thing that they show that they don’t really solve is that when they put these mutations…

A toxin is a antigenic poison that comes from microorganisms. Toxins come from various places like the body, environment, foods, and personal products. Not all toxins are alike, there are different forms of toxins that fall in different categories. Food toxins for example would be different than environmental toxins because of where they originate and are introduced to the body. Yes toxins do make it difficult to lose weight because the more toxins in our bodies the more fat…
Bacillus anthracis is the causative organism of the serious infectious disease, called anthrax. There are three manifestations of this disease. The manifestations include gastrointestinal anthrax, inhalation anthrax, and cutaneous anthrax. This research will explore the morphology, virulence factors, reservoir, transmission, and portal of entry of B. anthracis. The pathogenesis will also be reviewed, including symptoms, how B. anthracis causes these symptoms, the possible complications of the…
receives all the things that escape into the bloodstream. Whether they are drugs, food particles, heavy metals, saturated fats, tar or other toxins, the liver feels the impact. So it is not surprising that toxic overload plagues the liver the most. You read earlier about the liver’s detoxification phases. In the first phase, the liver turns fat-soluble toxins into highly reactive and destructive water-soluble compounds. To try and neutralize the products from Phase I, the liver has a Phase II…
after an infection of Escherichia coli which is a Shiga toxin-producing bacteria. There are two types of Shiga toxins that can lead to HUS, Shiga Toxin 1 (Stx1) and Shiga Toxin 2 (Stx2). There have been structural differences found between the two types as well as evidence to show that type 2 Stx causes more harmful kidney…
Mojave Toxin in the Mojave Rattlesnake Neurotoxins are an often studied, naturally occurring set of chemicals with vast potential toward a variety of applications. These toxins are produced by countless different species of animals: amphibians, insects, arachnids, and even birds, just to name a few. Neurotoxins, a specific class of toxins, act by impairing or artificially enhancing neurotransmission at the pre-synaptic or post-synaptic level (Camp & Gilbert, 2014, para. 1-5). Neurotoxins…
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. botulinum produces. Botulism is the disease that arises from toxins produced by C. botulinum. Botulism can arise from contaminated canned goods. The characteristic bulging on the outside of the can arises from bacterial waste increasing the internal…
infrared sauna emits application that access into the tissues to a depth of 1.5 inches. Stimulates fat cells, sebaceous glands Sebaceous glands releases harmful toxins Since bodies are bio-accumulators, toxins that cannot be expelled on afterwards access are stored in our bodies. Ability of the waves to advance the abatement of toxins that are generally at the amount…
