What are bacteria? Bacteria are very different from viruses. First of all‚ bacteria are much larger in size. The largest virus is only as big as the very smallest bacterium (singular for bacteria). But bacteria are still microscopic and cannot be seen with the naked eye. They are so small that the sizes of bacteria are measured in micrometers (10‚000 micrometers = 1 centimeter). By comparison‚ the head of a pin is about 1000 micrometers wide. Though more complex than a virus‚ the structure of a

Dwayne Hill. BC34M November 30‚ 2007 Lab Partner: Sasha-Kaye Graham Experiment 6 : Lectin Agglutination Aim: To study the agglutination pattern of different strains of Psuedomonas aeruginosa to different sialic acid-binding lectins. Absract: The cell membrane of two strains of Psuedomonas aeruginosa‚ P22 and P201 were treated the sialic acid lectins SNA I‚ WGA‚ MAL and HAA to confirm the presence of sialic acid carbohydrates in the cell surface membranes of these strains. This was done by

95°C while the z-value is 11.2°C. Introduction Bacterial endospores are very resistant to hostile chemical and physical environments‚ thus allowing bacteria to lie dormant for extended periods. A few bacterial genera‚ such as Bacillus and Clostridium are capable of producing endospores. As these spores are resistant to heat‚ radiation‚ desiccation‚ and disinfectants‚ they are difficult to eliminate and are a frequent cause of contamination. In addition‚ endospores do not require nutrients to

emerge. The following drugs are used to treat this infection: acyclovir (Zovirax)‚ famciclovir (Famvir)‚ and valacyclovir (Valtrex). 17. What is unusual about the origin of the popular drug Botox? The toxin in Botox is the same toxin produced by Clostridium Botulinum‚ the bacterium that causes food poisoning. The trade name Botox comes from the letters botulinum toxin. 2.
