Corneal Ulcer (Introduction) The eye is one of the vital organs in a human being. As seen on figure 1‚ the eye is composed of many different parts and function. The cornea is a clear covering over the colored iris and the pupil of the eye. The function of cornea is to help focus light on the retina and protect the iris‚ lens‚ etc. so that the eye can see. The cornea is best to compare with a standard contact lens. Although‚ the function of a cornea is to protect from harmful microorganisms

Introduction This study approaches the understanding of the autosomal recessive “mini-muscle” phenotype in mice. Smaller body size and muscles as well as increased maximal oxygen intake are observed in mice with the “mini-muscle” phenotype. This observation raises an issue about why the selectively bred mice with the “mini-muscle” phenotype have reduced triceps and thigh muscle mass as they are able to cover greater distances; due to faster running speed‚ on an activity wheel compared to normal mice

the plate‚ it could be seen that the unknown had growth and formation of colonies. The Gram stain was chosen next to determine if the unknown was gram-negative or gram-positive. After looking at the gram stain under the microscope with the oil immersion it could be determined that the unknown was gram-negative due to the fact that the bacteria was pink in color and rod shaped. After determining the unknown was gram-negative‚ other bacteria’s were able to be eliminated from the options. The Triple Sugar

Characteristics of Monera The following points related to Monera characteristics will help you understand the kingdom of classification better. • Monera are about 1 micrometer in size and complex as living molecules. • The Monera cell structure is mostly unicellular and some organisms that form groups or filaments. • These organisms are the simplest prokaryotic cell structures. • The Monera cell structure lacks nuclei and many other cell organelles. • They have a cell wall made of polysaccharides

Contributors to Microbiology Pioneers of Microbiology I. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek (Oct. 24‚ 1632- Aug. 30‚ 1723) A. In 1676 Leeuwenhoek saw tiny organisms in water‚ he was the first man to observe and describe bacteria accurately. He discovered microscopic nematodes‚ blood cells and sperm. He also made over 500 microscopes to view specific objects. B. Microbiology is concerned with the study of all forms of life that are too small to be seen with the naked eye. Antonie’s work

Identifying the Unknown Bacteria: Bacillus cereus Brittany Moy Coastline Community College Abstract Bacillus cereus is a Gram-positive‚ facultative aerobic‚ spore-forming‚ rod-shaped bacterium that is widely distributed among the environment. Introduction The reason for identification of unknown bacteria was to help students recognize different bacteria through different biochemical tests and characteristics. This is important in the medical field because identification of unknown bacteria

Streptococcus (group A strep) and Staphylococcus aureus are one of the main causes of necrotizing fasciitis‚ one of the rarest causes of necrotizing fasciitis is Aeromonas hydrophila which is a gram negative bacterium and is usually associated with brackish waters such as lagoons‚ marshes‚ deltas and estuaries this strand of bacteria is very resistant to antibiotics‚ and it can lead to sepsis and infection of other body organs‚ another cause is
