4300/6938 Biomolecules Microbes in Gut Increase Fat Absorption You may think you have dinner all to yourself‚ but you’re actually sharing it with a vast community of microbes waiting within your digestive tract. A new study from a team including Carnegie’s Steve Farber and Juliana Carten reveals that some gut microbes increase the absorption of dietary fats‚ allowing the host organism to extract more calories from the same amount of food. Previous studies showed gut microbes aid in the breakdown

oasis of life that resides around the earth ’s nourishing thermal vents. Here‚ a vast community of organisms thrive under very harsh circumstances‚ and most importantly‚ in the absence of life-giving light. How is this possible? Chemoautotrophic microbes. Chemoautotrophic bacteria are the primary producers on the ocean floor‚ where light cannot reach. Unlike most organisms‚ these bacteria do not need carbohydrates‚ vitamins‚ protein‚ and sugar to create energy‚ and ultimately to survive. Instead

useful in knowing its risk of toxicity to humans or animals‚ its resistance or susceptibility to antibiotics‚ and determining how to control its growth or kill it altogether. The purpose of these procedures is to discovery the identity of an unknown microbe by observing its reactions to a barrage of chemical and physical tests. Different microorganisms react in different ways‚ due to their function‚ digestibility‚ morphology‚ chemical make-up and other details. By observing the responses to these tests

Microbes in environment and health Micro-organisms are very dangerous but they can also help you. They cure you but they can also kill you. They have been around longer than dinosaurs. They can adjust to almost any environment. There are six types of microbes. There is Archaea‚ Bacteria‚ Fungi‚ Protista‚ Viruses and Microbial mergers. Microbes play a big part in people’s health and in the environment. Good Microbes play a big part in people’s health. They mostly

Soil Microbe Lab Antibiotics are chemicals produced by substances that kill or inhibit the growth of bacterial cells (Hurney et al 2013). These microbes‚ such as bacteria found in the soil‚ may seem like they would be harmful to the human body because they attack cells‚ however they are very efficient at only attacking the bacterial cells. Actinomycetes are one of the more common groups of these soil microbes known to produce antibiotics. Antibiotics work because they target specific aspects

HYDRO-ECOSPHERE Hydro-ecosphere is considered as a more suitable habitat for microorganisms than the atmosphere and lithosphere‚ mainly because hydrosphere contains water‚ which is important in microbial metabolism (Atlas and Bartha‚ 1993). The unique properties of water are also attributes of hydrosphere as a suitable habitat. Due to polarity of water (slightly negative and slightly positive)‚ water is considered as a great solvent‚ capable of forming hydrogen bonding. Large heat

While observing a couple catheter placements‚ I realized the technicians do not treat catheter placements as an aseptic procedure. The technicians don’t wear gloves and don’t scrub as religiously as we were taught in school. Placing a catheter into the bloodstream without wearing gloves or scrubbing the area correctly could introduce bacteria into the bloodstream‚ resulting in nosocomial septicemia. Another thing I was made aware of during this day‚ the rules for the hospital has changed and the

NTRODUCTION Often in the study of microbiology‚ the need to identify an unknown microbe may arise. This aids in the recognition of which microbes are harmful or pathogenic as well as those that may be beneficial to us in some way. This report will detail how a similar project was performed in order to identify two unknown micobes using the techniques that were learnt during the course of the semester. We embarked on the project with the knowledge that we would have to identify a Gram(+) as well

The 4 different types of microbes than can cause disease are; Bacteria Bacteria‚ also known as Bacterium in the singular term‚ are a prokaryote. Prokaryotes are simple ‚ single celled organisms. Bacteria get their nutrients from the environments in which they live‚ in some cases‚ that is the human body. http://kidshealth.org/kid/talk/qa/germs.html They are larger than viruses‚ but smaller than human body
