the same illness in humans. Eating food containing live salmonella bacteria causes salmonellosis. (2) Anyone can get Salmonella‚ but it is most common in children under 5 (and in the elderly). Millions of cases occur each year in the United States‚ and at least half of them are in children. Salmonella is found in almost all kitchens. Thankfully‚ proper food handling‚ cooking‚ and cleaning will reliably kill the Salmonella bacteria. Eating raw or undercooked eggs‚ poultry‚ or red meat is a common

The role of bacteria in the soil Bacteria in the soil play key role in recycling matter in to useful nutrients which can be used by growing plants. This process of recycling matter in the soil by living organisms is called biogeochemical cycle. Bacteria are improving plants growth in other ways too‚ for example bacteria‚ such as Rhizobium‚ are in symbiotic relationship with the root system of some terrestrial plants. The most important elements‚ which allow terrestrial plants grow well‚ are

in view of increasing demand of milk and also due to higher expectations of good quality and low fat diet requirements of the people with better awareness. Also the requirement for such quality products is more acute today. In this project I have prepared soy milk from soyabeans and have compared the conditions of formation of good quality cow milk yogurt and soy milk yogurt. I have also tried to find the effect of temperature on the pH of cow’s milk and soy milk. Thus I have selected this project

micro-organisms that are in the human digestive system. Article of choice‚ (Adnan‚ 2010) Benefits of Microorganisms to Humans‚ Retrieved February 8‚ 2013. This article was of interest because there are many bacteria that we encounter in our daily lives and it was informative to know that all bacteria is not bad. In fact‚ there needs to be a balance between the two and by educating yourself with the smallest amount of new information is very helpful. Humans rely on micro-organisms for a variety

I. Ecological Distribution P. volitans is a tropical marine species‚ usually found along the forereef in its native Indo-Pacific region. They spend their days hiding in rocky outcrops or caves‚ and emerge at night for feeding (Fishelson 1975‚ 637). In their native region‚ they are near-shore fish but in their invasive region og the western Atlantic and Caribbean they are found further off shore (Kimball et al. 2004‚ 270). Kimball et al. determined in a laboratory that the chronic lethal minimum temperature

Applying the IOM’s (Institute of Medicine) Ecological Model of Health Abstract This paper discusses how IOM’s ecological model can be used to stop the AIDs pandemic which is a health issue globally. This is because the number of people infected with the disease has increased over the years‚ since the first case was reported. Statistics show that over 34 million people are infected globally. The disease has been declared a pandemic due to the effects it has caused globally. Therefore‚ urgency

Foundation‚ the chimpanzee is a forest dweller that lives in communities of up to 150 individuals (Chimpanzee 1). Approximately 300‚000 individuals exist today in the wild. Thanks to their intelligence and strong communities‚ Chimpanzees exhibit two ecological niches: their daily creation of nests and the use of tools. These niches help chimpanzees survive despite their endangered status. Furthermore‚ chimpanzees may share their environmental resources with other fauna and impact the

Viruses can infect all types of cells including plant‚ animal‚ protozoa‚ fungi‚ and bacteria. Virus composition is unique and does not resemble a living cell because they only contain the necessary parts to enter and leave an infected cell. A virus is a minute parasite (10 to 100 times smaller than bacteria) that is unable to reproduce by itself; however‚ once it infects a vulnerable cell a virus can make the cell’s inner workings produce viruses on its behalf. Viruses typically have either RNA

General What is the Ecological Footprint? The Ecological Footprint is a resource accounting tool used widely as a management and communication tool by governments‚ businesses‚ educational institutions and NGOs to answer a specific resource question: How much of the biological capacity of the planet is required by a given human activity or population? What does the Ecological Footprint measure? The Ecological Footprint measures the amount of biologically productive land and sea area an individual

Oxygen Requirements of Bacteria BACKGROUND The GasPak system is useful for culturing anaerobic bacteria on standard microbiological media because the GasPak generates carbon dioxide and hydrogen. The hydrogen will combine with oxygen present in an anaerobic jar to produce water. This system can reproducibly attain oxygen levels in the parts per million range if used correctly. This is the best method for determining the oxygen requirements of unknown organisms. A candle jar is useful
