With the number of bacteria in our universe exceedingly numerous compared to the human population‚ it could seem quite difficult or maybe even impossible for scientists to analyze each and every single one of these microbes. So that is why we would be using a simple approach to looking at diversity in bacterial communities. In this experiment we went out to collect samples from the American River in order to analyze the various diversity in Bacteria species in the community. We focus our experiment

purple circles. This shape is known as cocci. When grown on a TSA plate‚ Staphylococcus aureus appears to be yellow to opaque in color. S. aureus is known as one of the most resistant bacterium to multiple antibiotics and considered the most pathogenic. Everyone is susceptible to S. aureus with one way of transmission being from foods such as chicken‚ eggs‚ meat‚ and tuna which can all cause food poisoning. Another way of transmitting the disease would be from your skin. Staphylococcus aureus

Wanting the benefit they are willing to take the risk that the hazard will not harm them. Biological hazards are the pathogenic bacteria‚ fungi‚ viruses‚ protozoan‚ and worms that plague on every society and indeed every person. They are inevitable components of our environment. Many are there regardless of our human presence and others are uniquely human pathogens whose access

Few deaths are as terrifying as the one endured when the parasitic amoeba known as _Naegleria fowleri_ finds its way inside your body and into your brain to feast and multiply. Discovered in Australia in the 1960s‚ _N. fowleri_ has been

Beneficial Prokaryote – Pseudomonas putida Pseudomonas putida is a gram negative and non-pathogenic bacterium with rod shape. It is usually grow in soil and water which high in oxygen content at 25-30°C. It has mutlitrichious flagella for mobility and it is sensitive to environment changes. Pseudomonas putida has several important strains which are F1 and KT2440 and a few significant plasmids such as the TOL and OCT plasmid. Besides that‚ it has a circular genome where around eighty genes in
