Microbiology is the study of living organisms that are too small to be clearly seen by the unaided eye. The science of Microbiology dates back only to 200 years‚ yet the recent discovery of Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA in 3000 year old Egyptian mummy reminds us that microbes have been around for much longer. Infact‚ Bacterial ancestors were the first living things to appear on Earth. The First observations: One of the most important discoveries in the history of Microbiology occurred in 1665

The human cardiovascular system consists of the heart‚ the blood‚ and a system of transporting vessels. A human heart has four chambers: a right and left atrium and a right and left ventricle. The fist-sized heart sits in its own sac (the pericardium) in the middle of the chest under the sternum. In most people‚ the apex of the heart points to the left. There are two circuits of simultaneous blood flow in humans: a pulmonary circuit and a systemic circuit. In the pulmonary circuit‚ the right

Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to discover substances that can slow the growth of‚ or kill‚ microorganisms. Hypothesis: The antiseptic that will prevent the growth of bacteria the most is iodine. The disinfectant that will prevent the growth of bacteria the most is bleach. Procedure: To begin the lab‚ turn the agar plate over and divide the plate into four quadrants and label the agar plate whether you used the E. coli or B. megaterium and number

kingdom of microorganisms was brought into life 3 billion years ago. Since then «the earth is a fundamentally a microbial planet‚ to which the micro-organisms are recent the relatively unimportant additions» (Wheelis‚ Mark‚ Principles of modern microbiology‚ 2008‚ p.1). The term microorganisms consist of bacteria‚ archaea‚ fungi‚ and protest‚ which can either be unicellular or multicellular. They first have been studied by Anton van Leeuwenhoek by the use of his own design microscope‚ in 1675. However

Vu Nguyen BIOL 1003/22 ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE LAB REPORT Introduction Natural selection is a non-random process in which individual with favorable traits for the environment will likely survive and reproduce than those without these traits. In contrast to Natural selection‚ Artificial selection is the process in which desired traits are intentionally chose to breed among individuals. Antibacterial resistance is the process in which strong and highly resistant bacterial is selected against weaker bacterial

Teixobactin was also very active against Clostridium difficile and Bacillus anthracis‚ while also showing stronger bactericidal activity against S. aureus than the antibiotic vancomycin did. This indicated that teixobactin is a very strong antibiotic. On the other hand‚ most Gram-negative bacteria were not affected by teixobactin with the exception of E. coli asmB1. When further research was done‚ it was discovered that teixobactin is not harmful to mammalian NIH/3T3 and HepG2 cells‚ even when tested
