resistance occurs when an antibiotic is no longer effective against a particular bacteria‚ making that organism resistant to the effects of the antibiotic. Bacteria become resistant due to selective pressure. Those organisms which resist the antibiotic‚ and do not die from it ’s effects have a greater chance of survival within the host‚ therefore allowing them to reproduce and spread it ’s resistance to other bacteria. while the ones susceptible to the antibiotics die. This can be caused by unnecessary

Abstract Some bacteria are able to go through transformation making new combinations of genes. Transformation is a way of gene variability in bacteria. This experiment is based on the transformation mechanism of bacteria and gene regulation. The bacteria used for the experiment was Escherichia coli and the genes introduces for the transformation were: gfp and bla by a pGLO™ plasmid. After the insertion of the target genes and growing the bacteria on specialized LB media‚ it could be seen that the

Howard Mayo NT1230 4/3/12 8 Common Types of Computer Viruses Dictionary.com defines a computer virus as “a segment of self-replicating code planted illegally in a computer program‚ often to damage or shut down a system or network (“Virus‚” 2012).” The term virus has become more generic over the years and has come to represent any type of malware‚ or malicious software. There are many types of malware that can be classified as viruses but it is the intention of this paper to examine 8 of the

Bacteria and Fungi are both very diverse groups of organisms and have numerous characteristics which set them apart from other living creatures. The domain bacteria possess traits which differentiate themselves from other organisms for example bacteria have prokaryotic cells‚ which means that their cells lack a nucleus‚ instead‚ they contain a nucleoid which contains a single circular chromosome. Additionally‚ bacteria do not have membrane-bound organelles‚ but most do have a cell wall made of peptidoglycan

Lecture 14 Lecture Gene Complementation in Bacteria In order to perform tests for dominance or for complementation in bacteria we need a way to make the bacteria diploid for part of the chromosome. To do this we need to consider a different extrachromosomal element: Ori T The F plasmid (length 105 base pairs) Tra genes There are some special terms to describe the state of F in a cell: F– refers to a strain without any form of F‚ whereas F+ refers to a strain with an F plasmid. F‚

Question: Suppose a meteor impact blows some extremophile bacteria from the Earth into the depths of a gas giant planet called planet X ‚ where they evolve into an intelligent species which practises physics. Do you think their physical theories would be similar to ours‚ and if so in what ways would they be likely to be similar? Your answer will necessarily involve some speculation‚ but make sure it involves some careful argument as well. Theoretical physics is one of many braches of physics that

Cells Now we need to discuss CELLS. You’ve probably heard of cells‚ and may even know of a few‚ such as blood cells‚ nerve cells‚ or skin cells. What are these things called cells? Cells are the smallest living things. You’ll be learning a lot about cells in this course. For now‚ however‚ I’ll introduce you to just a few basic things about them. Cells are extremely tiny organisms that carry out all of the functions of life inside a thin layer of “skin” called (unimaginatively) the CELL MEMBRANE

We will culture our bacteria for about 2-7 days. Characteristics are most visible if the bacteria are examined using a stereoscopic scope.

This experiment worked with enteric bacteria which are members of the Enterobacteriaceae and live in the intestinal tract (Willey et al.‚ 2014). Also found in Willey et al (2014) is some characteristics of enterics such as they all degrade sugars by means of the Embden-Meyerhof pathway‚ they
