relates to this case. Endocarditis is a noncontagious chronic infection of the valves or lining of the heart chambers‚ mainly caused by bacteria‚ although fungi can also be associated with this infection. To develop this infection‚ you need to have some bacteria or fungi in the bloodstream. The blood usually does not contain any bacteria or fungi. However‚ some may get into the blood if you have an infection or wound in another part of the body. In particular‚ dental and mouth infections are situations

earthworms inhabit deep soil‚ which can reach 20 feet underground in undisturbed grasslands on the richest soils of the world. These invertebrates‚ along with symbiotic fungi‚ extend the root systems‚ break apart hard soil‚ enrich it with urea and other natural fertilizers‚ trap minerals and water and promote growth. Some types of fungi make the plants more resistant to insect and microbial attacks. Energy enters an ecosystem in the form of heat from the sun. This energy is absorbed by organisms

Impact of Different Biological Control to Pest and Diseases of Tomato Production INTRODUCTION Importance of the Study Plant diseases need to be controlled to maintain the quality and abundance of food‚ feed‚ and fiber produced by growers around the world. Different approaches may be used to prevent‚ mitigate or control plant diseases. Beyond good agronomic and horticultural practices‚ growers often rely heavily on chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Such input to agriculture have contributed

Synapomorphy- Is a trait that is found in certain groups of organisms that exists in no others. It is a homologues trait that exists in no others. Some synapomorphy are: lactation and fur in mammals. Monophyletic group- Consists of an ancestral population‚ all of its descendants and only those descendants. Paraphyletic- An evolutionary unit that includes an ancestral population and some‚ but not all of its descendants. They are not meaningful units in evolution. Polytomy- Term for internal

THE 5 KINGDOMS OF LIFE- the amazing diversity of living systems 1. the Monera The five-kingdom system of classification for living organisms‚ including the prokaryotic Monera and the eukaryotic Protista‚ Fungi‚ Plantae and Animalia is complicated by the discovery of archaebacteria. The prokaryotic Monera include three major divisions: The regular bacteria or eubacteria; the cyanobacteria (also called blue-green algae); and the archaebacteria. Lipids of archaebacterial cell membranes differ considerably

Causes and Spread of Infection 1. Identify the differences between bacteria‚ viruses‚ fungi and parasites. Bacteria is something that we need some of‚ it needs a warmth‚ moisture‚ time and food in order to multiply‚ which in the right conditions they multiply quickly. Viruses need a living host in order to survive‚ they don’t respond to antibiotics and new strains of virus are developing all the time. Fungi are moulds and yeasts‚ they need a warm and damp environment to survive‚ much like bacteria

Even at low quantities these mycotoxins can produce health problems. * What can they do to the wildlife around? * Fungi that are present in straw and hay during the time of harvest can continue to grow even after it is harvested and stored. Hay being a main food source for many livestock animals puts them at risk to develop mycotoxins and other fungi. * Mark Diekman at Purdue University did a study focusing on the molds found in feed. “Molds themselves reduce the quality of

Chicken pox/shingles * Bronchitis Fungi can be seen as moulds‚ yeasts and mushrooms. They can all live in your body‚ usually without harm and some offer benefits as well. For example‚ penicillin comes from fungi‚ and this is a ‘life saving’ antibiotic that kills harmful bacteria. Fungi are also required to make certain foods‚ such as bread‚ cheese and yoghurts. Other fungi aren’t as beneficial and can cause illnesses. Some examples of the illnesses fungi can cause are: * Thrush * Athletes
