“Fighting Invisible Killers” Scholastic Scope: The Language Arts Magazine January 2014 Edition‚ pages 5-9 Bacteria surround us every day. These little “bugs” are invisible to the eye and most do not harm us. Many are necessary for us to survive‚ like the bacteria in our stomachs and intestines that help us to digest food. But some bacteria are very dangerous to us. Addie Rereich became very sick in May 2011‚ when she was 11 years old. What started as something that her doctors and mother

of light energy to chemical energy took place in the chloroplast. In 1881‚ he observed the movement of bacteria towards the chloroplasts in a strand of “Spirogyra” algae. Engelmann hypothesized that the bacteria were moving in response to oxygen generated by the photo synthetically active chloroplasts in the algae. This was one of the first documented observations of positive aero taxis in bacteria. In 1882‚ he performed his famous action spectrum experiment using a device designed and built by Carl

Bacteria are the most numerous type of microorganism found in the rhizosphere of the soil. They produce secondary metabolites which are capable of producing antibiotic which eventually inhibit or kill bacteria. The rhizosphere region of the soil is a highly favorable habitat for the proliferation‚ activity and metabolism of numerous microorganisms. The magnitude of this area depends on the plant and the size of the roots that the plant possesses. Bacteria are among the microorganisms living in the

Implementing the experimental methods learned thus far in the microbiology laboratory allowed an unknown bacterium to be identified as a result of this study. This study allows the student to exercise their ability to use and understand sterile techniques‚ transmission‚ and prevention of microorganisms. Materials provided
