of DNA in heredity was first discovered by studying bacteria and the viruses that infect them. Evidence that DNA can transform bacteria: The discovery of the genetic role of DNA began with research by Frederick Griffith in 1928. Griffith worked with two strains of a bacterium‚ one pathogenic and one harmless. When he mixed heat-killed remains of the pathogenic strain with living cells of the harmless strain‚ some living cells became pathogenic. He called this phenomenon transformation‚ now defined

population of about 100 dogs would contribute enough bacteria to temporarily close a bay‚ and all watershed areas within 20 miles of it‚ to swimming and shellfishing. When pet waste is washed into lakes or streams the waste decays‚ using up oxygen and sometimes releasing ammonia. Low oxygen levels and ammonia combined with warm temperatures can kill fish. (Epa)Pet waste is also often a major contributor to fecal coliform populations‚ which are bacteria that is the most common microbiological contaminants

Causes and spread of infection Identify the differences between bacteria‚ viruses‚ fungi‚ parasites? -Viruses aren’t living. They’re only made of complex proteins and nucleic acids. Bacteria‚ Fungi and Parasites are living organisms. - Bacteria are unicellular microorganisms. Fungi and Parasites are multicellular. - Fungi have cell walls made of chitin and they aren’t animals. Parasites and bacteria are animals. Bacteria come in 3 main shapes; spherical which are known as cocci‚ rod shaped

diseases are caused by agents such as bacteria‚ parasites‚ protozoa‚ fungus and virus. Bacteria exist on every surface including in the air and below sea level. Most bacteria are harmless but others are harmful to our body and can do bad to your health and internal organs‚ kidneys and the heart. Bacteria can invade into the body via the mouth‚ sexual organs‚ nose‚ eyes or any cuts which need to be cleaned and dressed. Bacteria can enter the body if food is full of bacteria or it isn’t cooked properly‚ this

behaviors). (Wright & Boorse‚ 2011). Biological Hazards. Human history can be told from the battle with pathogenic bacteria and viruses. It is a story of epidemics such as the black plague and typhus‚ which ravaged Europe in the Middle Ages‚ killing millions in every city‚ and of smallpox‚ which swept through the New World. The battle is not over‚ however‚ and never will be. Pathogenic bacteria‚ fungi‚ viruses‚ protozans‚ and worms continue to plague every society and indeed every person. They are inevitable

differences between bacteria‚ viruses‚ fungi and parasites Bacteria - Bacteria are organisms made up of just 1 cell. They are capable of multiplying by themselves‚ as they have the power to divide. Bacteria exist everywhere‚ inside and on our bodies. Most of them are completely harmless and some of them are very useful. But some bacteria can cause diseases‚ either because they end up in the wrong place in the body or simply because they are ’designed’ to invade us. Viruses - Viruses are too small
