The Impact of Microorganisms on Human Affairs What is microbiology? Microbiology is the study of microorganisms or microbes. The word micro means small in Greek‚ implying that microbes are very minute or small life forms that cannot be seen with just the naked eye. One would need a microscope to see these small life forms. Microbes are everywhere and have a large impact on the world. It all started when one of the most important discoveries in history was made in 1665. Englishman‚ Robert Hooke

Over the course of a couple weeks‚ ten tests were performed. First‚ a gram stain was performed‚ indicating the bacterium was gram negative. An aerotolerance test determined that the bacterium was a facultative anaerobe. Next‚ a negative result in the

If the antibacterial protein is isolated and is proved non-cytotoxic to humans‚ then it can be researched and developed further as a drug for curing various diseases caused by Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus ailments in human beings and thus give an impetus to further research on being used as model organisms to be studied. 5.2 DEFINITION OF THE PROBLEM: Treating every bacterial-caused

HOW TO WRITE AN UNKNOWN LAB REPORT IN MICROBIOLOGY GENERAL Unknown reports in microbiology are written in scientific format. Scientific writing is written differently from other types of writing. The results of the exercise or experiment are what are being showcased‚ not the writing. The purpose of scientific writing is not to entertain‚ but to inform. The writing should be simple and easy to understand. There is a specific style that must be followed when writing scientific reports.

Anthrax is a serious disease that is caused by the bacterium Bacillus anthracis. Bacillus anthracis has a very detailed yet simple description. Its shape is given away in its name by bacillus‚ which means rod-shaped and is also arranged in chains. It is gram-positive‚ so it has a simple cell wall. Since B. anthracis is non-motile‚ it is best to use a semi-solid media rather than a wet mount (Bacillus anthracis… [date unkown]). Colonies will resemble the comma-shape because of the bacilli chains and

Doing so can help identify diseases and created treatment and cures for such diseases. As a result‚ various laboratory tests were performed to an unknown microbe (Unknown #1) found in the water of a nearby pond. By identify the microbe‚ the safety of the water will be known to those around it. Materials and Methods

Anthrax is an infectious disease and it is caused by Bacillus anthracis. It is also called Splenic Fever‚ or Charbon. There are three types of Anthrax‚ there is cutaneous (anthrax of the skin‚) inhalation anthrax‚ and gastrointestinal anthrax. Anthrax is a large‚ rod shaped bacterium. It mostly affects animals but also can be transmitted to humans. Anthrax’s first incident was in 1500 B.C. in the early writings of Mesopotamia and the Book of Genesis.

Dobrinka Atanasova Anthrax Anthrax is acute infectious disease that affects humans and other mammals. The causative agent of Anthrax is Bacillus anthracis. Bacillus anthrasic is a rod-shaped bacterium that forms spores (3). As we know‚ spores can survive many‚ many years in harsh conditions. Furthermore‚ the bacterium is also Gram-positive‚ encapsulated and aerobic (2). Anthrax can enter and affect the body via the skin‚ the lungs or gastrointestinal tract. The first one‚ the skin‚ is the least
