micro-organisms are bacteria‚ fungi and protozoa‚ which have been found across the earth for over 3.8 billion years. The name of the micro-organism that I am researching is E coli‚ which is short for Escherichia coli‚ E. coli diverged around 102 million years ago‚ E coli is a common type of bacteria that can get into food‚ like beef and vegetables. E coli is dangerous because it is damaging to the kidneys and other organs responsible for removing toxins from the body. E coli is an emerging cause

Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Staphylococcus aureus is an important and common pathogen in humans. It is found in the nose or on the skin of many healthy‚ asymptomatic persons (i.e.‚ carriers) and can cause infections with clinical manifestations ranging from pustules to sepsis and death. Most transmission occurs through the contaminated hands of a person infected with or carrying S. aureus. MRSA infections frequently are encountered in health-care settings (Lowy‚ 1998). A common

It also showed how the bacteria’s genes can be manipulated and changed to have new traits not usually present in bacteria. The students were able to compare regular E.coli with the E.coli they inserted plasmids into‚ which gave a better look into how the genes of the bacteria

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION E. coli and S. aureus were tested to determine effectiveness of photodynamic inactivation with the use of methylene blue as photosensitizer and blue LED as alternative light source. Table 1 shows the resulting number of colonies for each replicate of every treatment per bacteria tested. Each of the treatments was averaged to get the mean number of colonies per treatment. All experimental setups were produced in quintuplicate‚ however only three of the five replicates were

If tea does have antimicrobial properties‚ then it could aid in warding off waterborne diseases. We believed that if black tea is steeped in boiled water‚ then the amount of bacteria exposed to this solution
