the term “cell”. 1632-1723 Anton van Leeuwenhoek credited with having observed the first bacteria. 1828-1898 Ferdinand Cohn developed the first classification scheme based on bacteria shape. Cohn detailed and described the life cycle of Bacillus. Cohn’s Classification System: Sphaerobacteria are spherically shaped. Microbacteria are rod shaped Desmobacteria are filamentous Spirobacteria are spiral shaped 1822-1895 Louis Pasteur Defined pasteurization

standard method of identifying an unknown microorganism relying on features such as morphology‚ arrangements and biochemical reactions. It was done in succession with each step complimenting the other. At the end of the experiment three microorganisms Bacillus azotoformans‚ Staphylococcus aureus‚ and Escherichia coli was identified and one result was inconclusive. The focus of this paper will be on the description of the just one of the three bacteria and some of its effects on humans. The first test

Enzymes are globular proteins that are synthesized by the ribosomes in a cell. They act as catalysts during biological reactions; therefore‚ enzymes are able to speed up these reactions without undergoing a permanent change themselves. These proteins are able to do this by lowering the activation energy of a reaction. To add on‚ enzymes require specific conditions under which they can work best. Reactions occur at faster rates when the temperature is higher. However‚ the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed

Chemotherapeutic Agents of Control: Introduction: Chemotherapeutic agents are chemical substances used to treat various forms of infectious diseases. The chemotherapeutic agent works by stopping the bacteria from reproducing. There are two different kinds of chemotherapeutic agents. The first kind is an antibiotic‚ which slow down the growth of microorganisms. The second kind of chemotherapeutic agent is synthetic drugs. Synthetic drugs are artificially made in a laboratory.

It is also known as the Klebs-Loffler bacillus‚ because it was discovered in 1884 by German bacteriologists‚ Edwin Klebs (1834 – 1912) and Friedrich Loffler (1852-1915). • 206‚000 cases of diphtheria were recorded in United States in 1921‚ resulting in 15‚520 deaths.

Microbial metabolism is the means by which a microbe obtains the energy and nutrients (e.g. carbon) it needs to live and reproduce. Microbes use many different types of metabolic strategies and species can often be differentiated from each other based on metabolic characteristics. The specific metabolic properties of a microbe are the major factors in determining that microbe’s ecological niche‚ and often allow for that microbe to be useful in industrial processes or responsible for biogeochemical
