Clostridium Perfringens Clostridium perfringens (formerly known as C. welchii‚ or Bacillus welchii) is a Gram-positive‚ rod- shaped‚ anaerobic‚ spore-forming bacterium of the genus Clostridium. C. perfringens is ever present in nature and can be found as a normal component of decaying vegetation‚ marine sediment‚ the intestinal tract of humans and other vertebrates‚ insects‚ and soil. Infections due to C. perfringens show evidence of tissue necrosis‚ bacteremia‚ emphysematous cholecystitis

My two kingdoms‚ I choice to describe the likes and differences of‚ out of the six-kingdom system of taxonomy‚ are animals and plants. These two were also the only two kingdoms of the six when Linnaeus first developed the kingdoms (“The Six Kingdoms”‚ n.d.). There are several factors how these two kingdoms are different‚ yet many that show similarities‚ one would never typically think of. Below I will list some characteristics of each showing these differences and similarities. Plants are made up

The Investigation of Microbial Diversity in Lichen and Hairy Cap Moss on Mt. Arabia By: Prajoth Pattamatta Biology 141 Wednesday 2:30-5:30pm Dr. Steve Baker November 22‚ 2011 Abstract The research experiment observed and analyzed the differences in microbial diversity between lichen on bare rocks and hairy cap mosses in the annual community. Samples from three different sites were taken from Mount Arabia in Georgia

c------------------------------------------------- Evidence for Endosymbiotic theory: ------------------------------------------------- Evidence that mitochondria and plastids arose from bacteria is as follows:[13][14][15] * New mitochondria and plastids are formed only through a process similar to binary fission. * In some algae‚ such as Euglena‚ the plastids can be destroyed by certain chemicals or prolonged absence of light without otherwise affecting the cell. In such a case‚ the

Ahmad Bickley • • • Bacteria can be found in the air‚ soil‚ water‚ on you and inside you. There are mire bacterial cells inside your gut and on your skin than there are cells in your body. The Kingdom Monera is comprised only of bacteria. KINGDOM MONERA • • • • • There are many different kinds of bacteria‚ but all of them belong to the kingdom Monera. A thousand bacteria can sit side by side in just 1 tiny millimeter. Despite their small size‚ bacteria are the most abundant of any organisms

THE 5 KINGDOMS OF LIFE- the amazing diversity of living systems 1. the Monera The five-kingdom system of classification for living organisms‚ including the prokaryotic Monera and the eukaryotic Protista‚ Fungi‚ Plantae and Animalia is complicated by the discovery of archaebacteria. The prokaryotic Monera include three major divisions: The regular bacteria or eubacteria; the cyanobacteria (also called blue-green algae); and the archaebacteria. Lipids of archaebacterial cell membranes differ considerably

Introduction The population of a bacterium will grow successfully in a particular pattern known as ‘logarithmic growth’ if the location is appropriate and the proper nutrients are present. The bacteria numbers will increase and most likely continue to double in this area over time with optimal conditions. Optimal conditions meaning that there are no dangers or limiting factors‚ to inhibit growth in this area‚ such as disease‚ predators‚ competition or lack of food. At first the bacteria should

Lab Questions: Lab #4 * Why are the chloroplasts traveling along the outer perimeter of the Elodea cell? The chloroplast are traveling along the outer perimeter to help move the vital nutrients thought the cells and convert them to substances used in the cell of the elodea cell. * What is the typical size difference between animal cells and bacterial cells? One of the main difference between an animal cell and a bacterial cell is a bacterial cell contains a plasmid‚ a ring of DNA‚ opposed

Halob acterium Eubacteria - has peptidoglycan in cell wall Eubacteria - can be differentiated by Gram staining Gram positive: purple-blue‚ mostly peptidoglycan susceptible to penicillin Gram negative: pink-red‚ less peptidoglycan‚ has lipopolysaccharides‚ susceptible to EDTA Gram negative can be further differentiated into
