Clostridium difficile There are many microbes that live in the human digestive tract. Most keep us regular and healthy. Some of these organisms keep others in check. When the balance of these good and bad organisms is disrupted‚ we can become sick. Clostridium difficile (C.diff or C.difficile) can grow out of control if this happens. This happens when a person is on antibiotics for another reason and the normal flora of the gut is eradicated. Clostridium difficile is typically found in hospitals

ATP Synthase: The World’s Smallest Motor Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a coenzyme produced in cellular mitochondria and is not only integral to cellular metabolism but also to life. The mitochondrial production of ATP‚ which occurs through a complex process called oxidative phosphorylation‚ has been determined to rely heavily on the enzyme ATP synthase. This determination was the result of a complex experiment that attempted to prove not only that ATP synthase was responsible for production

American sweet corn farmers have benefited in breeding and biotechnology. “BT protein protects the sweet corn from certain damaging insects” (Monsanto 2013). “Genetically modified sweet corn with BT protein reduces insecticide by 85%‚ fuel and energy use and carbon dioxide emissions” (Monsanto 2013). Farmers like to grow BT corn because they don’t have to drive their

The adaptations that this pathogen have acquired were different from that of it’s ancestor’s because it is transmitted through infected flea or rodent bites. Since Y. pestis is a strain of bacillus bacteria‚ it attaches to a host to thrive and sustain nutrition. Specifically Iron is needed to keep alive the pathogen which is why homo sapiens were the most reliable source to inhabit. Humans need

An alternative was found‚ only to be aimed at insects that eat the plant. “One type of bacteria‚ Bacillus Thuringiensis(BT)‚ naturally produces special crystal proteins. These proteins have been shown to be lethal to insect larvae.” (Hotchkiss 1) It’s been familiar to some that BT is injected into
