bacteria. Beta glycans are polymers of carbohydrates that can be cross linked with other cell walls of the fungi. Micafungin, anidulafungin and caspofungin are some examples of semisynthetic echinocandins. They are medically used as fungicides for some yeasts, they are used against most Candida’s but not Rhondotorula, Cryptococcus and Trichosporon. They are also used for molds like Aspergillus and sometimes against spores of the fungi’s like Pneumocystis carinii. Micafungin can be used as a…

using genetic engineering techniques. Genetic modification changes an organism’s physical appearance by changing its genes, the process is done by basic mating or gene recombination. Genetically modified organisms spectrum from small organisms such as yeast and bacteria to insects, plants, fish, and mammals. Genetically modified crops are engineered to bring out a new characteristic to the species.The main motive of genetically modified crops is to prevent certain pests, illnesses, environmental…

For years I fell under the falsified vision of wanting to become a doctor. I anticipated myself studying for the MCATs, attending medical school interviews, and fretting over my application until it was perfect in every way shape and form. Why a doctor? The answer was simple, I longed to be the person who could make a difference in not only an ailing individual, but to the world of medicine. I hoped to aid in finding cures to the worlds most complex of diseases and genetic mutations. I was…

infections or chronic signs and symptoms. These symptoms include: a fever, chills, a rash, night sweats, muscle aches, sore throat, fatigue, swollen lymph nodes which are often the first sign of infection, mouth ulcers, diarrhea, weight loss, oral yeast infection or thrush and…

food medium that is provided by the professor. To make the vials, 1 level of Formula 4-24 Instant Drosophila Medium is placed in each plastic vial (Glick, Neimeier and Aiello). Then 1 level of tap water is added into the vials, next 6 to 10 grains of yeast is counted carefully and placed into each of the three vial. After which the vials are then properly labeled with: the date of creation followed by “P generation” (parental generation), lab meeting time, group members’ names. When the…

B-12 only makes up 4.2% of the DRI in this dish. B-12 is an important vitamin for vegetarians because it helps in maintaining healthy cell and with the production of RNA and DNA. To increase this value, I would recommend the addition of nutritional yeast, fortified tofu, and fortified cheeses to the dish. This dish is also low in Vitamin D. Vitamin D makes up only .23% of the DRI. Vitamin D is important for promoting healthy bone growth and calcium absorption. To increase this value, I would…

vitamin H deficiency were associated with the skin disorder dermatitis, Gyorgi decided to test the effect of vitamin B2 on vitamin H deficiency in rat. He broght in the service of Wagner-Jauregg. In 1933, Three researchers found that extracts of yeast, liver, or rice bran that did not have thaimine did prevented the growth failure in rats that were fed a thiamin supplemented diet. Further, they noted that the yellow-green fluorescence extract promoted rat growth, and they notcied that the…

My first interaction with a patient was when I volunteered at Med Globe clinic, a general practice in Atlanta known for its population of lower socioeconomic patients. I walked in and saw old equipment, no electronic records, one doctor, and a few nurses—but a large number of people in need of care. The first patient I met was a 6-year-old girl who was a Spanish-speaking native. Smiling down at her curious face, I tried to see myself through her eyes. Did I seem friendly? Did she trust me? Her…

Cells are very important because they are assumed to be the basics of life. There are two types of cells that exist: Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes. The interesting thing is that, even though the prokaryotes seem to be very different from the eukaryotes. For example, humans look very different from the bacteria, but they still do share some characteristics. No matter at which cell you are looking at: bacteria’s`, plants`, animals`, protists`, etc., they all will be bounded by a plasma membrane…
