Endospore and Capsule Cell Staining Allison Lui Partner: Mary Chagin BIOL-235 W07 Dr. Runco 2/10/15 Introduction The purpose of this lab is to learn what endospore and capsules are‚ and how to identify them under a microscope using capsule and endospore staining methods. Capsules are found only in select bacteria‚ and serve a protective purpose. Made out of sugars and proteins‚ they are antiphagocytic‚ which prevents other cells to engulf the bacteria through phagocytosis. It

Evolution of Skin Pigmentation due to UV Levels and Genes Introduction Identification of a person has long been related to the color of their skin‚ as skin color is the defining measure of races. There are multiple variations in skin color throughout the globe‚ with the differences in outward appearance ranging from dark to light. But what exactly has caused this to occur? What is the underlying event that has led to so much variation in the pigmentation of a person? What selection pressures

The Mystery of the Female Orgasm Review of Puts et al. (2012)‚ Why Women Have Orgasms: An Evolutionary Analysis. Introduction One of the greatest mysteries in human biology is that of the female orgasm; and like any mystery‚ humans want to solve it. However‚ what happens if there is nothing to solve? Some scientists believe that the female orgasm has a purpose‚ that is‚ it evolved for some adaptive function. Other scientists stress that there does not need to be a purpose to the female

From a young age‚ I have always wanted to pursue a career in aquatic sciences. Attending the University of Guelph as an undergraduate in Marine and Freshwater Biology fostered a growing passion for conservation biology. Now‚ having explored the different avenues available to passionate students‚ I have grown a strong interest in pursuing a Master’s degree in Dr. Ackerman’s laboratory. Dr. Ackerman and myself are interested in understanding the multiple ecological factors that impact unionid mussel

commentary The boundless carbon cycle Tom J. Battin‚ Sebastiaan Luyssaert‚ Louis A. Kaplan‚ Anthony K. Aufdenkampe‚ Andreas Richter and Lars J. Tranvik The terrestrial biosphere is assumed to take up most of the carbon on land. However‚ it is becoming clear that inland waters process large amounts of organic carbon and must be considered in strategies to mitigate climate change. A tmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations increased from ~280 ppm before the industrial revolution to over 384

POTENTIAL TARGET FOR HIV ANTIRETROVIRAL THERAPY ABSTRACT HIV was discovered to be a life threatening disease in 1983‚ since then scientist have been progressively trying to develop antiretroviral therapy. Many drugs have been introduced to fight against HIV‚ but each of the drug have some level of toxicity or drug resistance to it‚ Which is why novel targets have been identified that can serve as antiretroviral therapy. Potential targets are explored from all the stages in HIV life cycle here
